    To compare that here, To go watch the Cincinnati Bengals ( NFL) the tickets range from 40-80 dollars for a league game but when playoffs come you can double/triple that.

    The Cincinnati Reds range from 5-245 dollars and again when the playoffs come you can double that price. ( The 245 are right behind home plate and mainly where the NFL players, actors, stars of the past sit. )

    On a brighter note The Price of Footballs has come down, picked up an adidas ball for £3.99 last weekend.

    I lived in Liverpool 10 years ago and tickets were between £18 and £25, they've pretty much doubled in 10 years. Factor in the cost of travel (as I'm now in south wales) which has also increased a ridiculous amount, be it by train or car and its hard to afford more than 1 or 2 games a year.

    There's no sign of the increases slowing down so I think in the next few years it will be common place to see large numbers of empty seats at most grounds. This has already started with some clubs eg. Wigan.

    You let their fans pay tax then you fiddle your benefits and let them buy your ticket for you. It's like their wives are sucking you off while you watch the footy. Let them sing all they want while the mrs has a gobfull of good old Scouse cock and their bank account takes it up the butt.
