Every sport has its price, with football now, the ordinary working class man / woman are being priced out of the game i.e they cannot afford the extortionate prices the club charges, nevermind be able to afford to take their kids (the next generation of that clubs fans).
It's nearly 50 quid for me to take 1 of my kids and myself to the match, depending on who were playing.
Not like the good old days i'm afraid.

No I can not agree with your way of thinking. IF you are on about the same thing that I saw the other evening on television, I really think it was not all fact, I think most of the interview was fiction, maybe some of it was the truth and hopefully the F.A. can sort it out so we can get back to enjoying Football.

no. not! certainly . football is a game for all who have skills and strength to play it. now,it has become rough through the days but that does not mean that it is a game for gangsters.

i would say it is now now as it is all about the money and a reason for football fans to arrange large gang fights so the answer is clear yes and no. years ago no it was a sport everyone enjoyed to watch and now yes its full of violence and money.

It must be because it's popularity in South Africa is growing by the day and corruption ,violence and gangsterism is rife there.

No the game itself is just as good as nothing! Only the management we may say is corrupt but the game, just good.

It is as corrupt as any other business or any other part of life, in other words there are crooks and honest people every where.
