@tractored - If all these businessmen are so clever, why are the majority of football league clubs running at a loss? And I'm not saying that prices have to be completely slashed, I'm saying that they need to be reduced to a sensible level. You can walk round Portman Road looking at the gate prices and struggle to find an adult ticket for under £30. This doesn't just affect the home fans though, this year the support for the away side at Portman Road has dwindled. It's hard enough getting some away fans to come all the way out here without them having to pay £35 for a ticket.
@jpr_23 - I can see your point with it being inelastic if you are a reasonably dedicated fan but there are more people who are not as dedicated as you and I who would quite happily take their £35 elsewhere. If it was an inelastic good to everyone, I wouldn't of posted this blog because we would have 25,000 in every week.
@exeterblu - I think the Bundesliga model is a superb idea, you only need to look what the Germans did to our over-paid, over-rated players in the World Cup to see that it does as much the national game as it does for the individual clubs However I cannot see it coming over here anytime soon, as we're already in too deep with the current ownership system and the FA probably don't have the balls to make a stand against the financial culture that's destroying our game. |
