Paying into the football system

[dead_soft]

Do you feel it is possible to go to Everton games, or any games under the FIFA/UEFA/FA banner and still be able to have a go at the way football clubs treat their fans? You don't have to go, you don't have to buy a SKY/BT subscription, you don't have to buy a shirt. Can you do any of these and still feel okay having an issue with the cost of a ticket? If you do, how would you defend it? If you don't, how would you try and change it?

We Go because that's what we do, we go when at times it puts us in a position of hardship because that's what we do, we forsake other things before stopping going because that's what we do.
A big percentage will have gone when at times the money was probably needed elsewhere, the club now have an opportunity to bang back the prices because it won't make them worse off they just wont make quite as much as they were going to, it'd make a much bigger difference to the fans than it would to the club as the amount less that they would make from fans is outstripped by the extra that they are already going to make.

Does anyone have the figure for how much Season Ticket Sales generated this season ?

Does anyone have the figure for how much Season Ticket Sales generated this season ?

An increase in average league attendances from 36,356 in 2012/13 to 37,732 in 2013/14 contributed to gate receipts increasing by £1.9m, to £19.3m. Underpinning this increase in gate receipts was a successful season ticket campaign, with the Club securing almost 25,000 season ticket holders, an increase of almost 1,000 against the previous year.

I don't understand the OP.

Hes saying if you pay for a ticket for the match, pay for a Sky sub or buy any club merch you should bend over and take everything they throw at you without once asking for lube.

Ah...thanks. Now reading the OP makes sense.

I thought this was about UK taxpayers subsidising Chinese football.

I hate to say it but well done to the Loserpool lot for highlighting this. Billions literally billions coming in and the greedy pack of dogs can't forego a few quid.

Everybody professionally involved in big time football should be getting less money.

It would have been nice to see a cap on tickets or even lowerd with the extra money from TV. Instead the players and agent will take it all.
Pathetic to be honest and the players don't even feel my shame either.
