With just a simple
message, that really got across many squad owners, not just in England but also
all over the European continent.
An all-around
revolution that started back at Anfield in Liverpool’s home field this weekend- with a walk out by thousands of
fans showing their discontent over the already monstrous price hikes on all the
games.
I must state that many
of the big clubs or elite ones will be seeing how many of its fans will walk
out to protest this outrageous and nerve of these owners greed and money
hunger, that is not a limit for them.
It all started with a
walk out in the 77th back at Merseyside, as more than 10,000 fans
stage this protest and left this historic venue, in a silent but meaningful way.
To win shields is
very important for any club in all of Europe’s without discounting the Champions
and local shield glories that come accompanied by a hefty and big lumpy sum of monies
in a payoff.
Crazy as it seems,
but the club owners are not in the necessity to compensate for their big name
signings and those hefty contracts of big name players that inflate their
payrolls, enough royalties made during a campaign.
Very well, the monies
earned with big number of sponsors from the ones inscribed in their shirts,
stadium walls, websites and sales of the squad memorabilia as well the shirts
that can be in the millions.
So where is the
shortage and the need of that surcharge vulture’s, because what I see each
squad has a very and opulent contrast that can really lift this clubs finances
in a very healthy way without incurring into the infamous hikes.
Not only in England
are the protests but also on Bundesliga and many other leagues will follow
after this disease spreading culture of avaricious and selfish owners can give
this spectacle a black eye and making the faithful core of your fans as the biggest
losers.
Even in American soccer,
many fans are feeling this not so pretty sight across the Union with some clubs
raising their prices as well cutting the extras that used to be included in the
season ticket holders.
Not only in the
United Kingdom the crisis is deep but worldwide and many countries already in
the Americas is seen the state of disarray with many empty seats that is impossible
for many to attend a match because of the pricing.
So far, Leicester
City who is making a successful campaign seen with a moderate to fair pricing,
but all to way to Chelsea, Manu, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Man City being among
the one with the priciest tags in their general admissions.
Averaging £ 30 to 85
pounds per tickets, the state of the economy especially in Europe is not one to
withhold this kind of kikes and certainly, a working class fan could afford to
take his family better alone.
Do not kill the magic
and fun of the game along the spectacle, without any people in the stands, stadiums allover will be
seen as total ghost towns with just the crickets chirping during the match, sad
very bloody sad!
Remember Chairman’s
and Presidents, without fans the game will be nothing and with half or complete
empty stadiums the Beautiful Game will become the ugly one, just because of
your appetite for money, money and more money.
