Great support that like, I always thought we had the most in Europe at least. Even their 2nd tier takes the piss out of the likes of Wigan etc

I went to a Hertha Berlin game last season it was a Second division game with 57,000 people there and the atmosphere was through the roof.

Only 15 Euro for a ticket, drinking in the stands. The Germans have got it spot on and it pisses over any game I've attended in the UK.

Even the pint pots are stackable so you can take 20 back in one hand for a healthy deposit back. Nah, rubbish.

Don't forget the 50+1 rule on ownership which gives supporters a say in how their clubs are run while preventing Chelski and Man $hitty like ownership schemes...

The 50+1 rule combined w/ the financial regulations for the league allows relative league parity where most clubs can actually make a run for the league title and/or places for Europe if they invest wisely and run the club well over time...

Better Atmosphere = Rubbish, I have watched few games on ESPN and not only are the games boring the atmosphere sounds crap\average. Not summit that we can really say too much about really

Better Players= Again a load of rubbish, premier league has the higher concentration of quality players, la liga has the worlds best

Just my opinion like

I completely and totally disagree with you.


It isn't just your opinion: it's mine and loads of other people's, too.

In that end... looks canny. Let's study the picture more closely though, eh? The wing stands don't exactly look bustling, do they?

Better players probably isn't true, but the league is nowhere near as weak as people suggest either.

The biggest (and most important) factor IMO is BETTER PRICES.

This, better prices, great stadiums, standing area's, allowed to drink at your seat and there's always an excellent atmosphere, but no way do they have better players than the premier league, good players, but not better than the BPL.

I seem to remember Hannover turning us over not long ago
