An interesting read

And it's from The Sun!

I am not surprised by the figures. The more money Premiership clubs get the higher the wage bill gets. The figures paid at some clubs are obscene.

I think the share of money slushing around in the top clubs should be shared throughout the game and not paying players mega-millions

 

I took part in that survey and the findings pretty much reflect what I said.

Didn't know it had anything to do with the Sun though, I regularly submit surveys for the Football Fans Census.

 

Comparing costs

Sky package &pound;43.50 per month is &pound;522 per year.</p>

Average ticket price in premiership &pound;26.50 x 19 home games = &pound;503.50, not to mention on costs and away trips.</p>

Given you get to watch a lot more games for your money from sky, then unless you are a loyal fan and need the atmosphere of a live game then I can see why attendances are dropping. Fans will increasingly become selective in the games they go and watch.</p>

 

I took part in that survey.

Why do the Sun use a photo of a rugby match though?!

 

RE: Comparing costs

And the Sky package you are referring to is the top one including movies.

 

Probably becuase it costs too much to get a Premiership one!!
