Lower ticket prices is a pipe-dream

and I have no idea why reasonable people even half believe it.

This season Norwich City will bring in £100,000,000 in tv cash.
Meanwhile the newly-increased home ticket prices will bring in just 1% of that. At most.

Building a new stand will be a capital cost and fans will be expected to meet much of it (some kind of Bond Scheme and/or higher ST prices)

Even Fuckhesnotverygood understands that the demand does not justify what it will cost.
