ozzy_itfc added 16:50 - Jun 8 Let's see all you Clegg haters now? .... this seems to be a good move to reward the season ticket holders which is a nice touch, even if it is £1. I am however a supporter of the season ticket promotions to buy extra people tickets which a lot of the idiots on here don't seem to be! funny how all the haters aren't at the games on saturdays because they seem to talking on here the whole time!

allezlesbleus added 18:01 - Jun 8 I still think the maximum price for a friendly should be £10.

RYITFC added 18:23 - Jun 8 £14/£15 is a lot for a freindly, if i remember correctly this is this same price as the Wolves match last pre season. After Clegg came out and said something along the lines of "I think we got our pricing strategy wrong for this one", yet the pricing is very similar this year. £5-£10 i think would be reasonable, kids to get in free.

Vexorg added 18:23 - Jun 8 If a season ticket averages out at £20 a game how is £14 for a meaningless friendly supposed to be good value?

Umros added 18:50 - Jun 8 I'll stick to the 5-1 memory thanks, this will be rubbish for £14

Mark added 19:33 - Jun 8 £14/£15 is just too much for a pre-season friendly in my opinion. At least the child offer is something, but I think it is best to introduce children to competitive matches as football is all about the tension and excitement. A pre-season friendly with a low attendance could put them off!

jas0999 added 20:27 - Jun 8 I am afraid I disagree with the earlier poster who thinks we should all bow down to Clegg. Personally I think he has done a very poor job for Town and has cost us big time in the transfer market. In any event, this thread is about the friendly match against West Ham - a team who were in our league last season. £14.00 for a season ticket holder is IMO a complete rip off and I won't be going. Expensive in the current market and yet another mistake from the hapless CEO. The sooner he leaves the club, the better.

rob442 added 20:56 - Jun 8 So as a season ticket holder a league game costs me £17 and Mr Clegg thinks £14 is value for money. He has once again shown he as no idea. The crowd will be 4500. Well done Clegg.

CobboldNeal added 22:24 - Jun 8 I know there are costs with staging any game - staffing etc - but this really should be a loss leader e.g. £5 adults / £3 consessions / £1 kids. Also a Premier League / European top flight team would be so much more an attracive tie as the "showcase" friendly.

Paddy39 added 22:37 - Jun 8 I spoke to Simon Clegg at the Suffolk Show (1st Day) and thanked him and the board for all their hard work. He did comment things hadn't gone too well on the pitch last season but they are hoping for much better this time around. A really nice gent.

StowTractorBoy added 23:20 - Jun 8 Rob there will more than 4500 as West Ham alone will bring nearly that. Last time for the friendly they practically filled the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand. For some people on here Clegg will do nothing right and whilst yes he has made mistakes he will never get praise from some of our supporters.

Garv added 23:35 - Jun 8 I'm not going to pretend I know anything about pricing strategies and whatever like many on here do, but my opinion has almost always been that Clegg is a bit of a clown. This is based purely on the way he comes across and basically nothing about if he is any good at his job or not, because truthfully not one of us knows.

ITFC4daprem added 14:27 - Jun 9 Great idea but adults still £14

debenturedave added 16:50 - Jun 10 Great deal for kids, but still well overpriced for Adults and only a £1 discount for season ticket holders ! Wow thanks Cleggy for a Pound off for committing to another season ! Luckily I will be holiday so I will save the full £15. There will probably be more West Ham fans there than Town fans at these prices, as we seem to play West Ham every pre-season now when they are not in our League !
