Despite a pending recession, runaway inflation, a deepening cost-of-living crisis and energy bills due to rise by another 70% in October, it is rather surprising that 11 PL clubs have taken it upon themselves to drive up the cost of season tickets for the 2022/23 season – with lowly Fulham being the most expensive offender!
Fair play to around 8 clubs, such as Liverpool, Man U and Spurs (even though the Spuds sell the most expensive season ticket of all at just over 2 grand!). These clubs froze prices for this season, which is something Liverpool and Man U have done for successive years.
I don’t know if those clubs that raised prices by more than the current rate of inflation are taking the piss, but the biggest mugs will be the fans who will not only have to put up with a load of woke bollocks on the pitch, but face an expensive season ticket, plus the cost of refreshments, travel and merchandise.
It would be nice if fans said “enough is enough” and told their clubs to do one. But I very much doubt it especially since more people are going to PL games than ever before!

They know they can keep doing because the average IQ of a football is much lower than a normal human
The sort who spend their wages in the bookies and on season tickets before food for the kids.
Usually have long suffering wives who occasionally receives a back hander for daring to criticise this behaviour or not having his dinner on the table.
Game invented by cunts, played by cunts , watched by cunts

Good luck to them..rinse the thick cunts.
Premier league football is closed off to the average working man.
Support your local non league team.
No cheating, virtue signalling, knee bending..

Again, you can`t win.
I was watching the tennis recently and noticed that many of the players ate bananas during their mid-game turnarounds – they are a substantial source of instant energy and an invaluable aid to physical activity.
However, do NOT make the mistake of hurling said fruit on to a football pitch mid-match (as a good-will gesture to offer vital sustenance to the players) as you are likely to be forcibly escorted from the stadium.
25
I understand that footballers eat Jaffa Cakes at half time to boost their energy. Perhaps you could throw those at the wankers? You’d also get the entertainment of David Lammy on the pitch trying to eat them all up.

£755 for Palace? Shithouse Park is nothing but a public toilet. I’d want a HazChem suit to go in there. Cunts.

In the fifties, I could leave my house heading for the bus stop with a big shiny halfcrown in my pocket. With that half a dollar, it paid for bus fare there and back, a bag of chip, entrance to Old Trafford and a programme inside in those days. Watching the Busby Babes was the bonus, who always won. Giving a begging tramp the equivalent of 12 and a half pence today, you’d get it thrown back in your face.

All football teams were white. The only black faces you saw in the stadium were the miners, who came straight from the pit face to see their beloved team.

These clubs are nowt more than Big Business operations, only to be expected. They’re the football world’s equivalent of Elton John, Adele and Ed Sheercunt, they can charge whatever they like because they know there’s a seemingly never ending supply of mugs out there.

It’s been like this for almost thirty years. The gentrification of the beautiful game began after Italia 90 and Gazza’s tears. I’ve posted this many times before as it humorously encapsulates what happen to the game…

It’s still the greatest form of escapism. He who does not indulge in silly escapism will die from depression in this fucked-up world.

@LC
I agree.
The Italian World Cup in 1990 was indeed a major turning point where the game found a new found popularity. Certainly in England anyway.
The sport had spent the previous 20 years slowly dying on its arse due to hooliganism and lack of investment although looking back – that was an era when it was still the fans game and games were played hard and fair on the pitch.
The peculiar thing though is that Italia 90 was a borefest in terms of good football for the viewer as there was very little of it on offer, even though as a football mad adolescent – I didn’t care too much about that.
Gascoigne’s England performances and ridiculous over dramatic tears were enough to paper over a general dearth in quality or excitement.
(A precursor to the vacuousness of me, me, me modern day televised entertainment one could argue)
The European Championships in Sweden in 1992 was the true “out with the old, in with the new moment in the game.
An absolutely awful tournament where Graham Taylor’s England were particularly guilty of being shite but also the last time we seen the back pass to the goalkeeper before it was outlawed the following season.
A season which also happened to see the birth of the newly formed breakaway Premier League and Sky sports.
You could argue that Sky played a blinder at the time for taking a chance on a sport which appeared in the doldrums yet had an incredibly high entertainment and popularity value which had remained relatively untapped.
I get that a lot of people hate football and it’s each to their own but at the same time – a lot of people the world over – absolutely love it and will spend their hard earned money on it.

I loved Italia 90! Cameroon were a joy to watch, should have beat England but they lost their discipline (still a common fault among African teams) and Italy and Beckenbauer’s Germany were a great side, even with dickhead genius Matthæus.
The passback rule was stone-set in the mind of FIFA after the Ireland v Egypt match which had about 1001 passbacks to Pat Bonner! It should have been brought in years before that.
The final was one of the worst matches I have ever seen. I actually rewatched it during lockdown and holy shit is it bad. A Germany v Italy final would have been great.
Aye, football can be boring and infuriating at times, but I love it. It’s pure and simple entertainment that can border on high drama even art at times. Everyone has there own stupid hobby/pasttime and aside from me reading books to kids in drag, football is mine.

Sheep?
You’ll be telling the fans to “wake up” in block capitals next if you carry on like that.

Nah mate, the phrase pre dates the sheeple insult from the tinfoil tomfoolers.
As for wake up, it’s impossible to wake the dead, from the neck up at least!😂
Evening HJ.

Evening lads.
Indeed. Referring to a certain demographic as “sheep” long predates my time on this Dog forsaken planet.
Fair beggars belief that cunts would rather shell out thousands on this bread and circuses shite than put their hard earned towards keeping their families warm and fed over the coming winter.

Two grand for a season ticket? Fucking MUGS.

Just wait until you get a 2000 quid gas bill in January.

By passes ready and waiting to go old fruit. They can stick the two grand bill where the monkey stuffs it’s nuts.

Bubble will burst soon when no cunt pays for Sky and BT anymore.
Once winter hits, some of these idiots will have to choose Sky over heating and cooking. I’m sure a few will still choose Sky, but a lot won’t when it gets cold.
I’m hoping it happens and the clubs go bust, so the game can be given back to the people once restarted.
Sky will have enough money in reserve to see them out for a year maybe, but they may pull the plug when they lose 50% of their subscribers.

Yeah this is going to be my last contract with them
They are total cunts

Afternoon CB
We can but hope.

Anyone who pays to watch this obscenity of a fuckfest deserves to starve. Look at the pay some cunt gets to run about a couple times aweek. Fuck football and the thick cunts who watch it. Good evening.
6
If people are willing to pay it then the clubs will keep on charging extortionate prices.
It’s business unfortunately, however distasteful.
I used to think something along the lines of a mass season long boycott would stop the clubs from fleecing supporters but, as I’m sure most people will have noticed, during the Convid lockdowns – elite level football just carried on as normal in vast empty stadiums.
It even gave the Premier League the chance to inject some toxic politics directly into the living room of fans via the George Floyd/Derek Chauvin tribute act.
Proof indeed that clubs at the elite level of the game couldn’t give a flying fuck about fans attending games and as long as the copious sums from foreign investment aligned with billions from BT, Sly etc al courtesy of armchair subscribers, expect these cunts to carry on doing what they do.

If you still want to watch sly sports, bee-tee, films and pron, get yourself an IPTV package.
Don’t pay the fuckers anything. One IPTV provider even has its own VPN.
The pron section is very inclusive.

To be fair, Leicester hadn’t increased theirs for a while until this year. Shame it coincides with playing shite. It is still cheaper than many a subscription to the idiot box.

Being a Fulham fan in the 80s and certainly in the 90s was rough, now it’s exciting being a Fulham fan, I bet!

As the saying goes, there’s only one eff in Fulham.

I would rather scarf my own anus than pay my hard earned money for any of that utter shite.

I’m not a great football fan, but as I understand it football teams spend as much money as they are given via tv rights. Give them a windfall of a billion quid and they will want to spend a billion and one.
Supporters also don’t help themselves when they complain their team aren’t spending in the transfer window, and want their team to spend 200 million on two players…..and then in the same breath moan about the cost of season tickets.
They are a bit thick when it comes to finances and where they think the money comes from.

The business side of sport only interests about 1 in 100,000 fans. Even in the oldest of old days of football, it was about money. Those men in suits who started clubs from 1880-1920 didn’t do it for fun alone, they were shrewd businessmen.
I’m watching Paris Saint Germain (value of club: $3,2 billion) play right now, amazing team. People should just shut up and enjoy themselves and for the most part they do, people just love to whinge online as we all do daily on ISAC!

The amount of money clubs get from gate receipes is a drop in the ocean. Why not let the fans in for free. A roaring full house might help the points tally. Stands to reason.

Not a bad idea, Sammy!

To cut cost, remove all aspects of the wimmins game, which will stop the quibbling in the studio for a start. They can then come in useful for making the tea and sandwiches at halftime.

Are these pricks still kneeling?
The only funny thing that I’ve ever heard about football was a letter in Viz (back when it was funny):
“How come Dr Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg can use the ‘N’ word will-nilly yet when I shouted it out at my 10 year old son’s football game I was escorted from the ground?”!!
8
The kneeling had been mothballed. I can’t see it being resurrected for the World Cup in Camel Land, either.
4
They appear to have stopped for the time being Thomas.
Boxing day and Cup finals are designated kneeling days now.
The stupid bastards.

Good. Kneeling sportscunts deserve to get brutally spit-roasted by Viagra-powered Kevin Spacey and Justin Fashanu.
It’s already happened to Lewis Hamilton, although he did request it.
7
One thing to consider is that almost all Prem clubs are owned by foreigners. Why? The only reason can be money and lots of it. There are probably all sorts of dodgy things involved…….tax write offs, tax avoidance, money laundering and big brown envelopes. One thing I know is that this country makes it easy for rich foreign cunts to rip us off.

…and poor foreign cunts in boats

I think football is common.

Praise be to Allah that I’ve always hated football and sport in general, spent my youth in changing rooms writing out “I must not forget my kit” 300 times.
Even better I’ve lived without heating for 15 years so I wont have to decide between keeping warm and the “beautiful game”🤮.

I haven’t had an Old Trafford season ticket since 2008, and I can’t see myself having another one for the rest of my life. Apart from prices being extortionate, the atmosphere at the place is now complete toss and has been for many years. I can’t really go to away games now. But from 1974 to 2008, I enjoyed every second of it. As the lovely Mary once sang, ‘Those were the days, my friend…’😏

Evening Norman.
I’ve watched the Man United 1976 and the 1977 FA Cup semi finals v Derby County and Leeds Utd respectively, courtesy of YouTube and the traveling United support on the Hillsborough terraces back then looked and sounded nothing short of incredible.

Oh, it was, Herman. When Gordon Hill put those two in against Derby, the Leppings Lane end went apeshit. And the Doc and Tommy Cav loved it. They were giving it the fists up to our fans. Bloody great, it was.
And the 1977 semi was great too. Great days, never to be seen again….☹

Last Man Utd game I went to was, Bill Foulkes testimonial match April 72 “I think ” 50p to get into the stretford end..
Tuesday night.. bugger me I feel old…” not”

The only season ticket I ever bought was for the Proms. Less than a hundred pounds.

There’s a reason the top two in the list have inflated their prices. Fulham have just opened a new stand and need to get the money back. Aston Villa have had plans approved to increase capacity at Villa Park and will make the fans pay for it. You don’t think for one minute that the tv money is used for ground improvement when matchday revenue can pay for the work. The tv money and final position money at the start of a season goes on overpriced new players and hugely gross wages. Why waste millions of easy money on the stadiums when the fans can pay for it ?

Bring a lil picnic. Cheese and pickle sarnie wrapped in foil. Packet of golden wonder crisps and a little delicious light beverage refreshment. Don’t pay for fuck all. Sorted.

Who cares what they charge, it has no bearing on me when I launch into the wild blue yonder on my hang glider, these donkeys who follow this pretentious idiot based “sport ” have no idea what they are missing by following the herd.
Use your brains morons, think for yourselves.
Lead, don’t follow….

My view exactly John. I could never get my head round folks paying lots of money to watch other people doing stuff. I felt flying the Cessna was expensive but when I discovered people were paying greater sums to watch football I was astounded.
Enjoy your aviating. I never had the nerve for gliding, when starting to lose height I would be looking for the throttle!
