Yes footy is too expensive but that's because of the wages those we pay to watch are ridiculous. Our owner has spelled it out. With no parachute money and only a small fraction of the TV money the Premier League gets, if we want to watch good players we have to pay. Even at 30 odd quid each we're losing money. And it's not a question of the chairman funding things, it's not allowed. Ask Sheffield Wednesday about it.
As for the ground being poor, it can't be that bad or England wouldn't play there (you know, the 1st team).
The seats at the far end are only utilised when the ones towards the middle are all sold (as Stoke did the other week, live on Sky too) so you won't have that problem this time, obviously.
