RyanB06 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 *facepalm*The word was right there in what you quoted, yet you still used the wrong one. Twice.It's relegated. Not regulated. Note the difference, please.And you call yourself a soccer fan. Shame.

rams80 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 In which most of the upper reaches of Italy's football pyramid get raided for tax evasion and money laundering.Maybe Italy should consider taking a decade-long break from this soccer thing.

Jaffa Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 It sounds like a few Italian teams need to be regulated, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Wow, this is pretty sick, especially this:'Flying from Manchester to watch Werder Bremen would work out cheaper than watching either United or City.'

Jaffa Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The worst thing about that rather excellent graphic is that I wasn't surprised by any of it.When I look into the at times eye watering cost involved in travelling to away matches, I've sometimes wondered if it would be cheaper to get a ferry across to the Netherlands and see a Feyenoord match than it would be to travel down to one of the pricier clubs.

marble21 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 [Huge Image]It is absolutely disgusting. Like most things which are 'broken' here in the UK though, most people don't realise that the issue lies solely with them - the consumers. If people said 'enough is enough' and stopped attending games due to the high prices I am sure they would drop the prices fairly soon. As long as people keep paying those prices though, those prices will remain.It is never going to happen though because the vast majority of people are too stupid to realise this and also have no idea what things should really cost.Further to this, who would attend a game nowadays anyway? I can watch a ridiculous amount of games from the warmth of my home in glorious HD, with a well priced cold beer of my choice, eating proper food with instant updates to the goings on of other games in that league. Even the games that are not televised get streamed all over the internet. It just doesn't makes any sense. I guess it all rolls back to the fan credentials thing.

I guess it all rolls back to the fan credentials thing.Part of the problem is that there are huge numbers of people who want to go to games, so clubs can afford to alienate fans. In short most of the 'clubs' are really corporations run for profit and will leach as much money out of fans wherever they are. How many German clubs are owned by non Germans? How many British clubs are owned and run by owners who have any sense of the history of the team they own?Pretty impressive you can get a season ticket for the European Champions for €80. Interesting that they are the cheapest in Germany as well. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 How many German clubs are owned by non Germans? How many British clubs are owned and run by owners who have any sense of the history of the team they own?Hell, with the exception of Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, and kinda-sorta Hoffenheim (at least at the top-flight), one person can't own more than 49% of a club. German football, in the long run, is going to be economically viable. English football already ísn't. (This is part of why I believe the Bundesliga's the best league in the world.)

I like Gus but FOX has yet to give him a partner who can make him better at soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
