Joao Pedro to Chelsea

Yep no need for it at all especially in the prem,but as long as fees and wages keep spiralling its a race to just keep bumping prices.
Ive no qualms with clubs charging a premium for corporate and hospitality packages if people want that little bit extra when they go to matches.

But if everyone agreed to reduce prices for the rest of the ground it would at least guarentee the next generations can attend.
What we will see over time is more and more clubs reducing concessions like man u have done so you lose out on kids being able to attend.
No qualms with aligning pensioners with adult prices as they all have a few quid extra, but keep the prices sensible or it will as you say eventually bite clubs on the arse

I was taking my two boys, for best part of 15 years, from around 2005’ish. Season tickets and around 50% of away games. Would struggle to do that now
As you say, lose the kids then lose the next generation of customers. Short term thinking.
There aren’t that many who will sell out regardless. For every Liverpool, Man Utd & Arsenal there are 30 who could come unstuck very quickly. Bidding war for TV rights looks like it is abating. Clubs will soon have squads full of players on top wages (hideous money really). When the tv money stops flowing, or significantly reduces, some will be fucked.

Still find Chelsea's transfer strategy a bit baffling. Should be done rule to stop clubs stockpiling such massive squads and then allowing them to send 20-30players out on loan each year.

Not just ticket prices either, the price of TV deals comes with ever more fixtures played at weird ass times and days, so then adds the extra complication of just attending with kids

Agreed. Sky had too many games last season, in my opinion. 100 more this season 😮

It’s time to reinstate #wego

They promised to when Rafa went, but didn’t

This is a second opportunity if dear Eddie goes

Can’t wait to watch pedro on July 5th
 
So just to be clear, marrying kids is only okay if you are willing to spend loads of money on Newcastle United and / or play for Newcastle United?
