Comments on: Are club prices driving fans from stadiums? http://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/are-club-prices-driving-fans-from-stadiums Football Blogs, Football News & Football Podcasts Mon, 20 May 2013 16:51:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Mike http://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/are-club-prices-driving-fans-from-stadiums/comment-page-1#comment-258442 Mike Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:08:14 +0000 http://www.footballfancast.com/?p=194310#comment-258442 Yet another piece of poor reporting on season ticket prices. The media are like sheep on this.

The cheapest season ticket at Arsenal is less than the cheapest at other grounds. The cost of a season ticket at Arsenal includes Champions League and FA Cup games so that’s more than the 19 League games that some clubs season tickets cover. Arsenal do not include the cost of Capital One Cup games which some fans choose not to attend while other clubs force fans to pay for these games in the cost of their season ticket.

This is just another shoddy attempt to make Arsenal look bad in the press. And given the Emirates were voted by fans (of all clubs) as having the best facilities of any ground in the country just a few weeks ago, what you should be doing is praising Arsenal but that seems a little beyod the Arsenal hating media.

Pathetic

The bums are still on seats, but the average age of the crowd is going up. 40 +
Kids catching the ” Arsenal bug ” are the futre.
They won’t get that watching games on TV.
