Mid-table finish for Boro.......in BBC survey

Good news, we've finished mid-table. Unfortunately that's not in the final League One standings (although that would be amazing in nine months time) but mid-table in the BBC 'Price of Football' survey across all 24 League One clubs.
 

Tickets at Boro range from £17-23

The survey asked every club in the four English divisions - and also something called the Scottish Premier League...anyone? - for various prices they charge on a matchday (so for fans without a season ticket) before then working out who offers the cheapest matchday experience. The criteria researched were the cheapest and most expensive possible matchday adult tickets plus prices for a cup of tea, a programme and a pie.

The total cost of the cheapest day out at Stevenage was calculated at £23.50, putting us in joint 11th place alongside Wycombe.

That price is actually above the League One average (£22.90) and a whole £1.33 above the League Two average (£22.17). More interesting it's also more expensive that two Premiership clubs (Blackburn and Wigan) and four Championship clubs (Watford, Ipswich, Birmingham and Bristol City). However the good news is that Boro apparently offer a cheaper matchday experience than 9 League Two clubs. Lord knows quite how the likes of Bradford, Swindon, Gillingham and Southend can justify charging over £25 in total for experiencing the Football League's basement division.

Although ticket prices have increased at The Lamex Stadium this season we still believe that £23.50 per game is good value for money for what promises to be an exciting League One campaign. And whilst that sounds like alot to fork out each game there are ways around it - notably either buying a season ticket so you can pay for entry up front, or not buying a programme, a pie and a cup of tea each time.....I mean, is that really tea anyway?

Tea is £1 at The Lamex - but does anybody drink it?
