iansheff 86 #1 Posted July 13, 2019 Just reading about the price of season tickets in the PL and how much seven of the clubs have put them up. Ten clubs haven't increased prices and Southampton have dropped their lowest priced ST by £171 down to £399 . Yet TV deals are set to bring in £9.2billion for Premier League teams over the next three years on top of the £2.5billion clubs earned in TV and performance prize money last season. No wonder teams like newly promoted Villa (15% increase) have gone out and spent £100m already on new players, they are scared of getting relegated again, the PL is one hell of a gravy train for the clubs that are in it and can stay there. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/most-expensive-premier-league-season-18205570 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MAC33 10 #2 Posted July 17, 2019 With all the money coming in from non ticket sales perhaps the fans of each individual club should arrange to boycott one or two games a season? Putting up ticket prices with all this additional cash coming in is obscene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not as far off as some may think,sky are in talks with the major clubs and have been for sometime,around a euro league,and a majority of top euro sides are in favour,its all about getting the legal obligations rite,you could see shadow squads playing in national leagues to begin with,prior to the breakaway,once skys legal people iron out the obstacles expect swift changes,EPL will see a huge drop in income. The FA may well relinquish their control of top flight football,and revert to EFL control.which would be a welcome move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
