Premier League clubs agree to cap all away match tickets at £30

What does everyone think of this? In my opinion it is a step in the right direction, however home prices should be capped too. Who in there right mind would play £42 to watch Arsenal at home when they can sit in the away end for £12 less? Anyway, the lower leagues should follow suit with a capped price of £20/£25.

It's brilliant for the fans. I can remember those greedy bastards at London's newly promoted ' Boutique club ' QPR charging us £56 for an away ticket. Arsenal away tickets were about £52 as well. Unfortunately, we at wanderers are not likely to get the benefit of those savings over the next three years.

What about the Championship and League One?

Will it still cost £40+ for a ticket to Leeds? Not that that concerns us any more.

It's just the prem clubs atm. Hopefully the lower leagues will.follow suit.  But I wouldn't hold my breath.

£10 to watch Chorley.

Anything over £15 to watch a game of football is ridiculous.

And fifteen quid's stretching it....

It's about a tenner to watch a film at the flicks in the VIP seats.

You can go and watch a live performance of Look Back In Anger at The Octagon for £13.

And if war's your thing, you can spend the whole day enjoying the artefacts at the Imperial War Museum - North at Salford Quays for free.

So why is it ok to charge £40+ to watch 22 millionaires ponce about on a football pitch for 90 minutes.....?

Twenty is plenty

Thirty is dirty

Fiftys not thrifty

40 is naughty

Gate money is less important to Premiership teams, the could afford to cap all prices at £20 for home and away fans, this is a gesture. For Football League clubs it is a different story, gate money is major contributor to total income.

Make it £10, Amen!

Totally agree, but fans are to blame for clubs getting away with it. If they voted with their feet the clubs wouldn't be able to get away with the sky high prices.

Armchair fans like yourself should be saluted!

We never win, so it's free to get in!

I know you're taking the piss but there is some truth in what you say.

I stopped enjoying the experience at Bolton under Megson because it was tedious shite which had to be endured, rather than enjoyed.

So I weighed it up and decided it wasn't worth the money.

And I stopped going.

Next season if we've got a team full of players who actually look like they want to be here and they at least try and play football I might start going again.
