£10 to watch gloucester at our place
your having a laugh
That is one tenner that is staying in my pocket

I dont mind paying at Evesham or Ciren or Kiddy but will not pay £10 for Glaster , £2 perhaps but no more

That is what I dislike about pre-season and will not bother with many of the games, it's far too expensive for what it is.

Kiddi is worth it as long as they're food is on sale.
Their pies are outstanding.

Pre-season friendlies are always overpriced. I haven't been to one in a couple of years now.

If we were playing a decent prem team then £10 may just about be justified but the PSF games are over priced for a friendly...... I attended the game against Cardiff last year but wont be attending any this year.

Could be worse, you could be a Bournemouth fan and have to pay £65 for a friendly against Real Madrid!!
Prices for the friendly have been set at £60 for adults, £45 for concessions, £30 for under-16s and £80 for executive seats, with a £5 reduction for season ticket holders!!

Now there would be a reason for moaning!!

I'd say that paying 6.5x more for a game against Real Madrid is better value.

I will save my money for the season not wasting it on meaning less pre season games.

I like pre-season games. Nice and relaxed and a chance to see new signings and how the pitch is doing. Ten quid to see Cureton net his first hat trick in Ruby isn't too bad.

I'd also pay £65 to watch CTFC versus Real Madrid, that is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Paying £10 to watch a non-competitive game against park sides like Gloucester, Cleeve, Cirencester or Evesham is not something I am comfortable with.

If they gave me a tenner l still wouldn't watch the Glos scum.I think its an insult we are even playing them.

Would there be an away end for us at kiddy?

Cant imagine there being an away end at evesham or ciren. Thhere will probably be more of our support at those two games

No CTFC fan should even think about going to the Gloucester game.

I deliberately and carefully chose my words, have I said anywhere in that sentence that you should support Gloucester City ?

You're having Hancox's nipples?
Do you have to still cue up for them and then when you get there it ends in disappointment anyway.

Fair enough I can see you meant no harm, got to admit though i would of thought a lot of people would want to attend after all how often do we see a derby and a derby that cheltenham will almost certainly win every time these days and if it helps Glos pay the rent that money comes back to us so surely it would be ideal to attend?

Thing is Luke it's a poor standard of opposition and a high price to pay for a training match. A lot of our fans do not see Gloucester as meaningful rivals anymore therefore I think a lot will struggle to get excited.

400 home fans plus the full 200 from Gloucester is my prediction. Doubt we will take more than 150 up to Kiddy either and they too are historic rivals.
