To put it in perspective

You'd think going to games would be cheaper and the clubs would be in a better financial state with all the money coming in. Then again, what do I know.

This is a quote from Uli Hoenes from back in 2013. It still applies because they're prices are still low. 104 pounds being the lowest priced season ticket at Bayern:

'We could charge more than £104. Let's say we charged £300. We'd get £2m more in income but what's £2m to us?

'In a transfer discussion you argue about that sum for five minutes. But the difference between £104 and £300 is huge for the fan.

'We do not think the fans are like cows, who you milk. Football has got to be for everybody.

'That's the biggest difference between us and England.'

I know things aren't as simple as they seem, but it's hard to argue his point.

It's a case of supply and demand. They charge a lot of money because they can. Because they know the fans will put up the money.

Not to mention in Austria - Bayern have done a deal where for €50 euros - you can get the train (return) and a seat at the game!!!

For me to see Chelsea it's £200 €245 euros!!! £100 train, £50 ticket, £10 parking and some scran/beers

Bad, Sky are useless and BT was supposed to win the rights. But for 160+ matches on TV we should get more in the UK like the USA and Canada who get to watch a match they wish.

Sky are useless???

Y?

Sky are useless???

They think they are the best and charge a lot for their channels, it's nice to see another company own some shares and that's why Virgin was moaning about the fees.

They are the best though

Their coverage for me is unrivalled. They have played a massive part in putting the Premier League where it is today. I have grown up with Sky. It has always been THE place to watch PL football. Without them things would just be weird.

Monopoly is never a good thing though.

Thank fuck for that, I cannot stand the pundits on BT Sport, alright I don't like the pundits on sky either apart from 3-4 but at least I can listen to them. I actually muted the spurs Liverpool game and popped on call of duty because I couldnt stand Michael Owens monotone voice.
