Poor people can’t afford football in general and they’ve been priced out.

Clubs like Millwall you’re right about but they’re now an anomaly.

How can you class tennis in the same bracket?

There’s nothing to support other than an individual player, there’s no passion involved.

With Rugby the violence has always been on the pitch rather than off, Rugby attracts the “Hoooray Henry” set.

Football is the only truly tribal sport that induces moronic behaviour from all classes of people.

I wouldn’t call many West Brom supporters at Preston middle class - on mass wrecking a pub and throwing smoke bombs inside. Complete yobs! I can go on. Sorry Mick but the violence I have seen at away games this year was not caused by all classes - just thick loutish yobs with no respect for anyone or anybody!

I would take my younger child to Wimbledon ( all classes there ) but not to a West Brom away game. Don’t think you have been to an away game this year so you can’t really comment! Even the Police at Sheffield who come up from Brum said trouble this season was worst seen for many many years.

Huddersfield - no different there either with some of our supporters charging at the police!

You can’t compare morons at football matches to other sporting events. Des is right! Even I have questioned whether this is worth going!
