hi gang,

i do a gate at seaford town and get some very strange looks when asking for money for entrance and prog.

just wondered what other clubs charge and if theres a set fee for div 1,2 and 3.

wheres the best value for money club locally?

Bosham = £0

best value for money in Div 3

Newhaven = £2.50 I believe!

Have the highest goals per game ratio in the league, 79 in 18 games (4.3 goal per game).

Not always good for us, for example the Saturday just gone, but always good entertainment!

Most County sides in Div 1 charge to get in mate and most are around the £5 adult and £2/3 OAP and kids which is what we charge at Crowborough.
I think its a reasonable price to pay especially when some families who have kids especially and dont have lot of money can take their kids to watch every home game.There is a young lady who lives near our ground who religiously takes all her kids and sometimes their mates to every home game. My hat goes off to her as people like her help keep our clubs afloat. I still cant believe some people whinge at paying very small amounts to watch at times very entertaining football with half the restrictions of Pro league games. How on earth do they think clubs get money through their doors and pay for clubhouses, equipment etc etc
As far as i know there are no "set fees" but general guidelines on wht may be a "good entry fee price"

IIRC, there is a league minimum fee of £3 for an Adult ticket to a Division One game.

Sure I've seen that somewhere anyway!

You are correct, it's in the handbook. I can't remember the amount, but there is a minimum.

What was the entrance fee for you in the Ryman last term Baz? Do they tell you how much you'll charge at that level?

Bob

interesting stuff, we charge five pounds at seaford ane three pounds for concessions which includes a prog.

just wondering wether a lower add price would bring in more people that may then spend more on food n drink?

there seems to be more people arriving after the game has started at seaford, as its an open ground its hard to man all entrances and i know of several people who plan to arrive after the people leave the gates, not sure what the answer is.

The County League handbook states that there is a minimum £3 for Division 1 £2 for Division 2 and £1 for Division 3

Ryman premier this term at Hastings £9

Meanwhile back in the real football world.............. Rye let under 16 's in free and £2 concessions, normal fee £4.

Peacehaven is still £5 with a quid for the programme

My new "home" team Cambridge City charge £10 for the Southern League while Cambridge United charge £15 for the Conference !!

Sorry Baz, but probably been a while since you paid to get in to watch Crowborough, but it costs £6 to get in.
(It was £7 last year when we were in the Ryman league)

P.S.
By the way just in case you think I'm having a dig at you I'm not, I've no problem with you not paying as you are working for the club and I wouldn't expect you to pay.

Sorry Baz, but probably been a while since you paid to get in to watch Crowborough, but it costs £6 to get in.
(It was £7 last year when we were in the Ryman league)

No offence taken i thought we had dropped it to £5 with a program too and i could of swore we charged £8 in the Ryman League as most charged £10.
Anyhow still value for money i believe.

Hi Bob, again im not that sure if the Ryman have their own guidelines for entrance fees at matches but most when we were in it were around the £8-£10 mark.

Sorry Baz, somehow managed to post my reply twice!!

It still includes a programme in the price. You could be right about it being £8 last year I cant really remember. I know we started off at £7 this year and then dropped it to £6.
Definitely value for money at the moment, although it wasnt at the start of the season!
