Yes our ticket prices are not great but I will defend what Chansiri is doing. We want PL football, he has pumped money into the club to do that and he seems prepared to push FFP as close as he can to help achieve that. But without higher crowds that are paying more money it won't be enough just to rely on him, we simply cannot compete with the PL parachute money. So its the fans that have to stump up some extra cash if we want to have a chance of promotion. Our commercial side is poor as well, has been for years but he is slowly getting that sorted as well. I don't think he is a chairman who will screw the fans on prices, but until we get to the prem he needs to absolutely maximize that revenue stream.
As regards the game, the PL is as good a league as it has ever been. The football is good, the players are good quality with a few world class ones in there and the grounds are full but the best thing about it now is the fact that 6/7 teams have a chance of winning it, it is a league that is competitive from top to bottom and that is rare in world football these days. But, the money is all up there, none trickles down and the England team suffers from all the mediocre foreign players being brought in. Brexit may actually help the England team ironically!!!
