    I genuinely couldn't care less about the England side. I don't blame others for not doing so either. I went to a game at the new wembley about 10 years ago. More life in a morgue than that stadium.

    Luckily because of the time difference and having a 1 year old. I fell asleep before all 3 games.

    What's the point?

    All the clubs are their own businesses with owners and management setting the ticket prices. Having a pointless march is a useful as a Mag Boycott. The only way to get the clubs to drop prices is to stop giving them money.

    Is that all? What's the link for tickets?

    Seriously, grounds need standing like in Germany with cheap standing tickets.

    Fans march on Premier League/Football League HQ demanding cheaper tickets
    Hundreds of fans will march on Premier League and Football League headquarters this Thursday (14th August) demanding cheaper ticket prices throughout football.

    The march will be led by the Football Supporters’ Federation (FSF) with fans from scores of clubs joining them. Supporters say clubs should use multi-billion pound media deals to lower ticket prices for both home and away fans.

    The Premier League’s current media deal is worth £5.5bn, an increase of £2.1bn on the previous three years, but fans say there is little sign of anything being done to make life easier for match-going supporters.

    From the increase in Premier League media rights alone all 20 top-flight clubs could have let every fan into every game for free, without being any worse off than they had been the season before.

    Instead, many clubs chose to increase prices and £50+ tickets are now common in the top-flight. Hull City’s Category A tickets jumped from £30 last season to £50 in 2014/15.

    Kevin Miles, chief executive of the FSF, said:
    “Nine out of 10 fans think football's simply too expensive. There's always the odd deal that clubs can quote to play it down, but the truth is supporters tell us they think tickets cost too much. It's not just top-flight football either, fans throughout the leagues tell us prices are too high.

    “Football is swimming in money, with clubs pocketing record amounts from broadcasting deals while squeezing supporters with high prices. Something has to give.

    “Ultimately we, as football supporters, have to speak up about this. Join the FSF and hundreds of fans on Thursday when we deliver that message to the Premier League and Football League.”

    Fans will gather at Marble Arch for 1pm and leave for the Premier League and Football League offices at 30 Gloucester Place (W1U 8PL) at 2pm. A delegation of fans will meet with the football authorities, while those on the demonstration head back to The Globe (NW1 5JY).

    They should have used Old Trafford/stadium of light/sid james' maybe, they said before Wembley was built that ' using other stadiums' was successful, but they won't move from Wembley, but they want the money yet they could still get a big percentage from other grounds which would be filled.

    Yeah, let's knock down the 90,000 stadium that they just spent a billion on and get them playing up in Sunderland in front of 49,000 fans.

    Monty for PM.
