Rumours of a 77th minute applause on thurs. All for that.

Not many clubs would value their fans the way FSG have. They admit they got it wrong and have listened. Of course when so many fans walk out you have to listen from a business point of view but the statement they issued makes it clear the fans are an important part of their plans.
Fair play FSG.

You say they got it wrong!
They have left the price of 6 match day games the same price of £59 instead of the proposed new price of £77 YET they will be increasing the remaining 13 match day games UP to £59.an increase on some ticket prices of 11%.
Maybe this is what Mr. Ayre meant when he said some fans "should be careful what they wish for" when talking on this matter.
What may look like a good polished piece of PR on the face of it is going to end up costing fans in the long run.

@vrcomp
The walk out was supposed to be as £77 was not seen as affordable. Now none of these will be £77 so they will stay at the more affordable £59.
What would you have expected them to do?
They back tracked and reduced their prices to appease the fans but they weren't going to just roll over so they said that's fine ye can pay more for the lower category games to help make up the revenue. In a way it is a stand to show that they do not intend on getting messed around either.

I was not against the walkout.
What I am pointing out is that the owners have been given positive PR for backing down when in actual fact they will probably receive MORE in generated income on the new pricing structure than they would have done had the just increased the 6 games to £77.
AND at the end of the day. the only one's going to suffer are the fans.
