The price of Football

They charge a lot for admission
To watch our average teams
In an over hyped premier league
Because that is what it seems
They’re knocked out in the Champions League
But praised for getting that far
They all believe they’re good enough
To which I find bizarre

The price they charge are scandalous
And even in the championship
Thirty odd quid for a match ticket
And more for the fans round trip
It wont be long before the bubble bursts
Coz prices are far too high
They’ve been ripping off the fans for years
How do these clubs justify

The amount of money these players so call earn
Has gone beyond a joke
They’re bleeding football clubs dry
It’s a wonder they don’t go broke
Four hundred grand a week
For a player who cannot pass a ball
Talk about stealing a living
Tells the story overall.

But the fans they bear the brunt of this
And like fools they continue to pay
But many are so dedicated
They watch them home and a away
I always say good luck to them
But for me I’ve been outpriced
I can’t afford the ticket cost
My football is sacrificed.

So true – just like it was in 2000 when this site began Dennis.
is it any wonder then so many of use desert our beloved clubs… with our feet …..to watch the beauty and people’s game of lower and non-league
That’s where and why you’ll find me today , when i can..
getting there early for the vibe..e..standing on terraces .in an out of the way place .
chatting to away fans beforehand and after and clutching raffle tickets at half time …hopeful even for a five pound third prize
