My friends and workmates (I work in Manchester) are saying the same thing re the prices. In fact in our office out of 5 Man U season ticket holders 4 have packed in, in the last two years. And the last guy sells on his tickets though the club scheme and only attends 50% of the matches. What has the sport become?

I think Clubs who are succesful can get away with charging what they charge because people will always turn up to see them, what happens if you fall from grace like we have, it's a totaly different kettle of fish putting your hand into your pocket for 50 quid to watch an ordinary, bog standard average Premier League Club, we have to be very careful and get the prices right, we are on the very edge here.

Well every single one of these Utd fans cited to me it was too expensive. It does not matter how good your team is doing either you have a spare £1000 or not. And in their case you have champs league to pay to which you can add another £1500 or so. They now subscribe to some foeign satelite channel where you can watch every game home and away. Thats obviusly the future but the clubs are in for a big shock in a few years time.

Just wondering, those United fans local ones or from outside the area, they may be similar to us in that locals seem to be the ones hardest hit regarding price increases.

Local e.g Manchester / Cheshire / Bolton

I wont be going the game at all next season because of other commitments etc. Maybe a few if i can afford it. But last season, i went the game then went straight home. So I stayed away from the social side of it where your in the pub 1-2 hours before the game and then back in it after the game for god nos how long.

The season goes on for 10months. 80 pound a month, 20pound a week. People no what there buying and if there that unhappy with paying it they shouldn't buy it in the first place. Or they should stop thinking about going out before and after the game and spending 60 quid on ale.

Common sense always prevails
