Meanwhile, in Germany…


those numbers suggest only 10k season tickets. what are they selling another 10k's at? where are they getting their revenue from if not from tickets and TV (which we know is far less out of EPL). there's a lot of detail and difference hiding under a simple comment.

I think we all know, deep down, that we'll probably follow suit within the next few seasons now the door is ajar.

Shocking that the big clubs have started this
We’ve made numerous ticketing decisions that don’t benefit fans who’ve regularly gone to games for years. Quite why anyone thinks this would be any different is beyond me. We’re all about the money, just as every other big club in England is.

It must also be particularly galling for 18-30s knowing it’s pretty much the immediately previous generations who put a stop to them having free uni education and cheap housing. These are both still available abroad but the right to live and work in Europe has also been taken away.

That very last bit …. means many are literally trapped living in the ultra high costs UK.

There are areas at the Amex where there are no reductions for OAPS or Juniors.
I have OAP friends in west lower middle section who get no reduction.

In the grand scheme of things, OAP concessions surely cannot amount to much money?

….in the knowledge that absolutely no one in that age range plays golf :lolol:
My Sons do, and pay £55 a year, it's enabled them to be attracted to golf, spend a fortune on clubs and kit and probably means they'll be playing for the next 50 years! Well done golf

Maybe we need means tested season tickets, or a % of cheap Season Tickets for those on low incomes.

This would seem to be fairer but an absolute nightmare to administer.
