This is an unfair dig at our owners, firstly they have invested millions into the project to get us where are now and deserve a return, secondly uefa's ffp shit means they have to drag money in whether we or they like it or not.
I took my kids to Maine road when it was a quid a kid, they watched Kevin Horlick and co ( no disrespect ) take us down 2 divisions, we have replace those players with silva etc, they don't come cheap, I know which I'd rather watch.
20 pounds is a lot but don't blame our owners.
The fact they are Arabs is totally irrelevant.
Ticket prices are a disgrace. The clubs can make whatever excuses they want, it doesn't mask the extortionate levels they charge. They have priced out a lot of people and the majority of the younger generation. It's no coincidence that the average age inside the stadium is 40+ nowadays. As teenagers, loads of us used to get the bus to Maine Road and watch the match for a couple of quid - something you don't see anymore. I really struggle to pay for our season tickets (mine plus my two lads) each year and away games really cause no end of arguments at home, purely because of the cost.
i agree prices are high, too high, its not down to our owners though, we are watching a better product so you would expect to pay a premium, add that to the greed in football and chairmen have to act.
