The Germans have the right idea. Clubs have to be 51 percent owned by fans (or so I believe) and, hey presto, ticket prices are reasonable!

Sure, they can't compete financially with the big English, Spanish and Italian clubs, but they do develop a lot more players because of this.

Except for Bayern Munich who as a result have won the last 27 titles!

Just a small edit to your post KM  



Thanks. Definite oversight on my part.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

One of my xmas presents was David Beckham aftershave. It's really nice and must have taken him a lot of time and effort to make-how he found the time I don't know-what with writing all his books and attending garden parties for charity the guy deserves a medal in the New Years honours list or even made a SIR.


Don't forget distilling his own whisky.

Whilst I agree this is true for the lower leagues, I'm not convinced for the Premier League. The income they get for ticket sales is dwarfed by what they get for TV rights - all the clubs are selling is a brand now, that is why you have so many tourist fans nowadays.
But fans subscribe to tv as well.If fans stopped subscribing to sporting events businesses would collapse.Currently studying for a Level 2/3 Business diploma and all business is linked with money.They dont care about you at all just how much money they can get from your bank account  




One life,one love .

So as a club like Bournemouth, Swansea, Palace may make between 5-10 million from tickets but around £100 million from TV,  why don't they properly subsidise them, say £10 each, probably if they were fan owned this could be done.
