Anyone out there who can give me some clue as to why BFC has the nerve to charge away supporters £26 to sit in temporary seating in the middle of a 2-sided building site. Don't have a problem with BFC supporters or the town where I've had many happy times?

I went there with the Mighty Baggies on the Tuesday night after our F.A Cup semi final defeat at Wembley last season.
I must say it was £26 well spent compared to Wembley as,thanks to Super Kevin Phillips we won.
Please note you aren't allowed to take hot dogs,burgers or hot drinks into the temporary seating due to health and safety.
FACT!
No boing boinging either :-(

OK ,if you want a serious answer its because thats what they charge the home fans to sit in the two decent sides of the ground so why should the away fans get in cheaper,
I dont think any club would get away with charging visitors less.

Thanks, the point in asking the question was to get a serious answer. I never in my wildest dreams expected to get one from Blackpool. Don't know your age but Ronnie Allen broke my heart at Leeds Road in 1955, 2-0 to the "Throstles", you went on to win the cup and finish second to Wolves, Huddersfield finished 3rd. Good luck with the big boys this time round !!!

Simple answer. Market forces: They'll charge what they can get away with. That's how business works.
If you don't like it, don't pay it.
