Going to be £21 to watch the mighty spitfires on Saturday week...thought is was an April Fools day joke!!!!! Home fans get in cheaper in all other parts of the ground so this is quite outrageous. Away fans already have travel costs overheads without ripping them off at the turnstiles to watch their team. If going by train, its £26-40 groupsave to London Waterloo, and the underground to Dagenham East will be £6-20 return.....£32-60 before reaching the turnstile for another £21. Yes the coach is cheaper and fair enough but a lot of fans make a day of it, as many did for the Brentford match, a fantastic day all round...apart from the final result!!

Football princes are a complete mess. I'm paying £20 to get into Wembley for checkatrade trophy final between cov and Oxford, as you've said £21 to stand on a sh.itty non league terrace is pathetic. You now have away tickets more expensive at championship grounds then premier league and don't forget the average price of a bundesliga game is still less then £20. Rip off Britain alive and well.

Anywhere inside the M25, you won`t be getting any value for money. Expect to be ripped off until you get back outside the M25 !!!!!!!.

The price is the only thing they have left of league football.

But it's £21 to sit under cover at D&R. Presumably, to save on stewarding costs & to make more money, they close the open end terrace & stick us in the stand. The same happens at some other NL clubs, Macclesfield comes to mind. Pennies is going a bit far, USS, but with the new pound coins coming in very soon, we could all pay in old pound coins as a small protest. Any other ideas how we could make a stand & have any other clubs' supporters done it?

I think the obvious answer to the biggest stand is not go??

I had originally intended to go to this game, but a change of arrangements unrelated to this thread means I am more likely to go to North Ferriby instead. Am surprised the cost of the group saver train ticket is so high, but interesting to note that for some people the North Ferriby game could be cheaper than the D&R and is more likely to be non-segregated which I personally prefer.
Not sure about different prices for different fans. For out free and discounted games are all away fans given the same reductions n like for like basis? If so I would expect them to advertise the fact.

Just to put it in perspective championship side Blackburn rovers match day tickets start are £18. Good luck to anyone paying £21 to watch teams 3 leagues lower
