Think I'll give it a miss Ian.

£5 is too steep tbh, if you allow folk to get a beer on handing their ticket over then fair enough but otherwise I think you've overpriced it.

I do appreciate these last few comments. But at the end of the day even if I sold all the tickets we have for this game, I will no way cover what it has just cost me for new satellite equipment, installation & subscription to the French channel - which is a commercial & not domestic subscription = mega bucks!!

Also as those who have already bought tickets from me will confirm, we are making a £1per ticket sold donation to Blesma- British limbless ex services mens association (who we are doing a sponsored tank pull for in 2weeks) & Hull wyke U 11's -the team I coach.

Sorry if people find £5 to much but it is the same price as we charged over 5years ago for the first Catalan game we showed in Clarence.

I don't want to get into a slagging match over this and I'm not trying to rip people off!!
I'm just a FC fan with a pub who is show a game that most people won't ever get to see.

Respect to you mate!

Get them told. £5 is peanuts, and £1 is donated to a good cause, not only are people paying to watch the team they support, they are supporting a good cause!

I'll try and find a stream,should know by tomorrow morning, if not ill buy a ticket.

The bit in bold rather undoes all that went before it.

If Ian had stated he'd had to buy a new receiver, subscribe, donate to charity, etc, etc. then fair enough. He didn't so that's why people felt it was overpriced.

Well said. people have a choice of whether to pay the fiver and watch the game or not bother. He's running a business and can charge what he wants

Got 4. Never occurred to me that £5 was steep, especially with the £1 donation. Just grateful we can see the match.

I agree, we would have paid it had we not already made arrangements with friends to go out.

And people can also come on here and say if they think he's charging too much. On a different thread he asked to borrow a satellite receiver, I'd assumed that's what he'd done. If he's had to shell out a lot of brass then fair enough bit that's not the original impression.that was given.

Correct I did ask to borrow a receiver and a poster on here offered me one, but as he will tell you it wasn't the right type, no cam slot. So ive had to 'shell out' for a new receiver & cam to make the card work?

I wonder if people would still be complaining over the ticket price if the team were playing well & expected to win in France as they were in the previous years that I have shown the game...somehow I think not

Have you got many tickets left? won't know til tomorrow night if i can make it.

Yes bud we have just over a hundred left

OK thanks.

Well done to you on putting this night together. Can we bring kids (well behaved and massive fc fans) >

Do we just get tickets from Clarence ???

Do we just get tickets from Clarence ???

Yes just come to the pub to get your tickets.

Please note the game kicks off @5pm

Not 6pm as advertised on most websites - this is central Europe time!

Hasn't it always been 5 quid? I seem to remember paying that 4/5 years ago.

A bargain.

Or pay hundreds and go to the game live, or dont watch it - take your pick.

He has put this on at expense to himself, which wont be covered by the ticket prices.

FWIW i'd have charged £10

Me too!! £5 (£1 to charity remember) is an absolute bargain and well worth it for 2 hours entertainment, you can put more than that in a bandit or pool table!!

And of course, you're always rammed at 5pm on a Saturday, aren't you? I'm quite sure the increased bar takings would more than cover the cost of a satellite receiver.

What happens to the people who regularly have a meal in there on Saturdays? Do they have to pay £5 to get in?

No they've got to wear blindfolds.

Ian - Have you got the Haye Chisora fight on later?

LOL !

I'd want my fiver back.
