Fans are being fleeced by clubs, it’s not just away fans but home as well. Charging people more than £15 for any match is a rip off, it is just 90 minutes entertainment after all. The TV companies pay millions to the clubs to screen the games but they’re still not happy, no wonder attendances are going down at certain clubs.

Being here in Amercia its hard to really get worked up about ticket prices that are largely market determined, in the UK. It does strike me as a bit of a double standard that if you look at the overall revenue created by the league each year, you will see that the big 4 dominate in capturing that revenue. Its hard to then say OK u small clubs we are going to cap your match day revenue to make our fans happy. Just strikes me as a bit of a double standard, and as you know Im an Arsenal(the highest priced tickets) thru and thru.
