Can we expect cheaper ticket prices?
Improved catering?
Better 'Facilities'?
Entertaining football?

Dream on Gromit, the fans benefit ? the only ones to benefit will be the players, demanding even more than they get now.

The answer is in the hands of all you fans that spend your hard earned money, paying up front inflated prices for your season tickets, to watch 22 prima donnas kick a bag of wind about for 90 minutes.

Try not renewing your season tickets for a season, and spend your weekends watching your local lads, play a much more entertaining game on your local fields.

Perhaps then you would see a change in the way football is run. I maintain that if they cut the players salary by 50% they would still play, because even this would be a great deal of money for doing a job that they enjoy.

It was good to see Man City fans boycott of the Bolton away fixture last week.

They were being charge �36, (�9 than the Bolton fans pay at Eastlands). City fans decided to protest with a boycott. The club took half of their allocation and sold just a few hundred tickets. The empty seats looked very embarrassing on telly.
