Guess Attendence for today's game

Ridiculous pricing of £20 for adults £10 for kids which pathetically goes up a fiver if you decide to turn up and buy tickets on the day. This after some excellent pricing for the Europa league games.
I'd have gone today if the pricing were half that price. Nothing to do with affording it, just nobody likes feeling they've been ripped off.
I reckon they'll be lucky to get 15k today - my guess is 12,500.... But also guess they won't say how many.

These home pre season games have always been around the same price
£15 STH
£25 General
Remember Anderlecht queues out onto Green St, other games 15000 and under.
All the top teams what top dollar to come and West Ham won't pay it, because they want give us affordable family football.

Johnson, your intellect displays signs of flaccid paralysis at the best of times, but surely even a man of your limitations can work out why Real Madrid played bournemouth in 2013.....

One way to push your brand is to allow, neigh encourage your kit to be sold in shops worldwide. We do that now but didn't then.
We went because they paid us.

It's all about money is what you said
Fairly simple yet self explanatory as to what you meant
Is there some deeper and more fucking insightful meaning to it then?

So surely if it was simply about formations & fitness we wouldn't need to New Zealand to play games.

"I think it's a good time to try and test your best XI and formation, some just see it as a fitness thing"
From the Managers point of view that's exactly what pre season is about.
Some of the other shiz is all about brand promotion.

Well it is a challenge but most importantly it's to try and get the side spot on for the first game of the season.
I doubt being given the run around by Barca would do that.
and the tours are of course about money and spreading the West Ham brand.

This debate has stemmed from the notion that decent sides will want to come and play once we're in the OS.
I think it does matter who we play to a degree. Depends on your view on pre-season full stop.
I think it's a good time to try and test your best XI and formation, some just see it as a fitness thing.

It's down to money, everything is always money.
We went to Australia because they paid us after all.

Don't forget, SOME of these higher echelon teams might NOT want to play us even though they are a good attraction to us

Why would we want to play a team the same as us?
Why not challenge ourselves?
