It won't happen though, in general prices will continue upwards I'm afraid.
It's been mentioned a few times though that they might take that strategy at least in the beginning, no smoke without fire.
And if there are plans for 60,000-78,000 - there's no way that would be filled at the current prices never mind more dear. Not week in week out. Maybe they'll do some projections and realise as odd as it sounds, cheaper tickets is the way to more matchday revenue, in the first instance.

What families can now go and watch football...rich ones or ones who support crap teams, once the success comes the men at the top bleed you dry.

Agreed.
Say 50,000 paying £50 a ticket = 2.5 million revenue
or 70,000 paying £35 a ticket = 2.45 million revenue
add in an extra 20,000 people buying food + drink etc
Makes sense to me.

john moores didnt deal with steve morgan , the liverpool fan who bought wolves - he sold to the yanks
just like united fans and fergie are to blame for their situation - fighting the coolmore lot over rock of gibraltar and invading the racecourse
the grass is always greener
then david conn from the guardian on talksport today saying foreign owners are bad for football... actually dave you are wrong mate, ours are brill
How are any fans to blame? ridiculous statement. Its the people at the top who claim to be football fans who are to blame.
I hate liverpool with a passion but so see this happening is a disgrace, our league is being ripped apart by foreign investors whose sole purpose is to make money, they don't care about the fans and certainly not the local fans.
The coolmore lot would have sold regardless of what happened with fergie or the fans, they stood to make a hefty sum and did exactly that.
Your owner is the exceptional to the rule and you are seeing the benefits of that now, I still believe he will want some investment back in the coming years regardless of his wealth....expect to see your local wythenshawe lads (an example) who could easily afford a season ticket to be replaced by the local chinese population when season tickets go through the roof.

70,000 paying £45 a ticket = 3.15M. That makes sense.

I suppose a good argument could be made that with that many more fans in the ground cheaper ticket prices might encourage greater spending in the stadium.
