Imagine if we had beat Hull in the play off final you can bet that my season ticket would have gone to 850 quid on the south and matchday prices v liverpool would be 70 quid under Chansiri. That's only because DC sees you as a competitor to D-Taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Barry can play all he wants - i'm just saying Fat Barry should have to pay. This then goes to maintenance of the pitches for the youngsters to play on and the cycle continues that way. I agree the price of football for adults is not cheap but its not ridiculous, (twice a week costs me less than £15 for good facilities) It is local councils that are holding things back if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm sick to the back teeth of these surveys TBH. We all know the Prem is the place to be re: cash. Grass roots is on it's arse. That's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the FA are a spineless bunch of nobody's so there is more chance of Abdi winning player of the year I thought the Prem league was separate from the FA and the only reason the Prem League was still involved with the FA was the Champions(sic) league?.

Spectacularly missing the point there mate. Fan revenue doesn't matter in the Prem. It does in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowOwl Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Until all fans can agree to stage a mass walkout for 1 or 2 weekends across the country, or skip an entire season watching on the box, the war is well and truly lost. Cricket is already a fast sinking ship now with TV rights and 20/20. As much as I hate the sport, Rugby is the only one I can see where the fans are still kings.

Enjoy 4HDliveukVarslowmo as it will be 80 quid a month soon just to watch it on tv I agree to some extent. It is not the game and day out it used to be.

German football is 100% in tha fans hands. The rules regulations and structures in place there are unbelievable. Its the only real true top league for me in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big NFL fan, and it costs me £140 per year to access every single match per season, pretty much rolling coverage of the sport and a ton of original programming. The last time I subscribed to Sky Sports (several years ago now), my TV/Broadband bill was over £100 per month and still didn't provide a reliable way for me to watch my team whenever I wanted to. Why is it easier and cheaper for me to watch a team I support 6,000 miles away? As damaging as most of us agree televised football has been for the game, it's not going away. But it does need to improve. The idea of paying Sky what they charge per month for a selection of games that they choose, that includes the likes of Cardiff, Bournemouth and Fulham is laughable in this day and age. It's an absolutely crap way of broadcasting the sport. Edited August 14, 2018 by sheffield_dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every reasonably sized village in the country should have a well kept grass and 4g pitch along with changing rooms to allow use all year round for kids and adults. Our contribution to grassroots football is embarrassing when you see how much top flight clubs generate these days. We'll end up winning the World Cup going off like that!
