I know a couple of seasons ago that if you divided the cheapest Arsenal S.T. by 26 and the cheapest Liverpool by 19 likewise the dearest Arsenal and the dearest Spurs ; on a game by game basis our cheapest was cheaper than Liverpool and our dearest was cheaper than Spurs.
Well at least the season tickets didn't go up this year, I paid around 1,100 thanks to selling a few games on ticket exchange, i paid 1500 quid last year.
These are the prices per game for highest and lowest priced season tickets (top 6 clubs): Spuds £99.74 Man City £92.11 Arsenal £78.42 Chelsea £65.79 Man U £50.00 Liverpool £45.74 Spuds £40.26 Arsenal £39.81 Liverpool £37.37 Chelsea £31.32 Man U £28.00 Man City £15.74 So, it would appear our dear neighbours are the most expensive to watch, which is bizarre given the **** ground and **** football.
Bristol City fans are boycotting their first game of the season away against Sheff Wednesday because they are being charged £39 for a ticket.West Ham fans will only pay £36.50 for a ticket for the game at the Emirates
It's a massive pisstake by Sheffield Wed trying to take advantage of it being Bristol City's first game after promotion and likely to bring 5000+ at fair prices. Legally they have to charge home fans the same for an equivalent seat so presumably they're making it stupidly expensive behind the goals and regular price down the sides. It's £25 for other teams going there.
Which I don't agree with but can understand. It's more of a draw for a casual West Brom fan to see Arsenal, United etc. so they'll charge 'category A' prices to their own fans and you pay the same. This is category AAA+ prices for a standard game.
Ironic!! I thought Arsenal were one of the "big guns"!! Or does that term only apply to Real, Barca, and Bayern and the rest of Europe is way behind?
Quite a nice summary of the up and coming season for us http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-tactics-what-to-watch-at-arsenal-this-season Though as far as I was aware the claim that Giroud had signed a £130k contract was all hot air, with no fact behind it.
My expectations are to compete for the title to the last whistle. To be up there in the running till the final moments of the season or better still win it. Definitely have to better our points tally. Win a domestic cup. Get to the QF of the CL at the very least.
