    Saturday 6th January 2001: Leeds United vs. Barnsley - Kick off 3.00pm
    Adults - £16
    Senior Citizens - £8
    Juniors - £8

    Saturday 26th November 2011: Leeds United vs. Barnsley - Kick off 3.00pm
    Adults - £36
    Senior Citizens - £29
    Juniors - £25


    So that's a rise of £20 for adults, £21 for senior citizens and £17 for under-16s in just 10 years! Crazy or what?

    The cost of football is a big problem and it's all down to player wages. It starts at the top and filters down through the leagues.

    I'd give my kingdom for an horse to pay those prices again. Just wish my salary had more doubled in the same manner.

    Only footballers and bankers have seen wage increases at those levels.

    This should be a 'sticky' for those who blame 'stay away fans' for BFCs lack of funds

    Sheer greed and lunacy. Football in the next 10 years will go into decline unless they wake up (although it would be good for the majority to claim back the game hijacked for so long by corporate interests
