Ignoring discounts for concessions & early booking and extras for posh seats, parking, free program, beer, pies & parking for proper people what level do you think is reasonable for a standard adult entry to a championship league match.

Yep. £20 seems a reasonable starting point

Costs more for a stand seat in most grounds - £20 seems a bit too much for standing in the rain!
It's a delicate balance. Clubs have to try to balance the books, but over charge and it'll put people off.

Average cost standing / seated circa £20 is ok

It was clear that we needed to move to a more central location to attract bigger crowds. That's why we fought for over 10 years to get the stadium built in Truro. We had a season in Truro many years ago at a temporary stadium and the crowds were very big (also we had a very strong and successful team). That wasn't sustainable. We had a few seasons in Camborne and crowds were very good there - but not playing at your own ground is problematical, and again couldn't be sustained. We have our core support in Penzance, but it's a long way from places like Launceston and Bodmin and many of the "floating" supporters won't make the journey. To be fair Cornwall is very depressed financially and, if you are struggling to pay the bills one of the first things to cut out is spending money on is things like going to rugby.

Hmm, you may call yourselves the Cornish Pirates, but when push comes to shove you are Penzance and Newlyn RFC, and every Cornishman will realise this. Launceston tried calling themselves the Cornish All Blacks, much good that did them. Moving out of your home territory will inevitably be a risky business, just ask Wasps and London Irish.

I completely agree. I paid £235 for the mens last year if I remember correctly, and I've seen some of the other Women's Premiership teams asking £100 for seated season tickets.

The fact is that when we moved up to a more central location the crowds were bigger. We did, and still do, get a lot of people who support their local team but come and watch The Pirates - which is why we opted for a lot of Sunday games. At the last home game I was chatting to a lovely group of young people who had come from St Agnes. This thread is about the cost of watching rugby, and it shows the delicate balance that has to be struck. It's probably fair to say that people who support, and buy tickets, for their local club will not be so inclined to pay out a substantial amount to watch another game at the weekend in the present climate.

Well said CC. I think we all know that the spurious ground criteria is simply ring fencing by stealth and completely unnecessary in the real world.

Agreed.
I'd add the proviso that IF the ground isn't suitable for BT Sport then that club receive less TV income until the ground meets modern TV crew requirements.

Which is what happens in SuperLeague. Though at this point we should probably gloss over the self-reinforcing problem that IIRC clubs with substandard grounds (basically Castleford and Wakefield Trinity) also get less central funding because of it when really there's a case that they should have more. |

I was surprised when I found out what the majority of Championship players earn. It’s hardly surprising lots find the lure of match fees and working a better proposition
