Tell you what the problem is, it's two fold. Players wages and all seating. That equates to higher prices as you can't pack in as many to pay the players. Whilst most ordinary staff at those clubs are paid minimum wage.
Football is no longer affordable for the loyal fans that used to go week in week out. When I started going it was £1 to stand rising to about £1.50 no Cat A, B, C bollocks. One season I went every home and away game ( travel either by SSC, BR FS or private Van ) and I was doing a weekly paper round of about £5pw plus my pocket readies. Now you have to fork out £57 just for the privilege of being able to obtain a place on the mythical waiting list and maybe getting a ticket for the games others don't want to go.
We may have 60,000 members but they all cannot afford season tickets.
Let's work this out. How much would it cost someone, who hasn't a ST to go to every home game on the cheapest ticket: £734 + the £57 membership = £791, plus expenses say £30 a game food, drink, travel, programme x19 £570. So that's £1,361 for 19 EPL games. It's a lot of money for younger people to find who are just starting out on minimum wage. Someone on the average wage after tax only takes home £300 odd a week. Single, at home, just your bollocks to look after, maybe. But Kid and bills, that's a big chunk.
So, in 1977(excluding expenses) it cost just 0.79% of the annual average wage to attend 19 league home games and in 2014 it has risen to 3.04% of the annual average wage (excluding expenses).
If you go on the cheapest 77 prices, the equivalent today would be about £10 to watch football. About what it costs to watch Dortmund each week.
There is going to be a meltdown in this league we call 'the best in the world' as it's not viable.
When you look at that video above we had just lost 1-0 at home to Man Shitty, again in the dying minutes, but nobody was pissed off that much. They hadn't just done their bollocks.
