It's not what I'd like to see, too high prices have priced out families and most importantly fathers taking their sons to games my dad used to take me to every Wigan game at home but it only cost him like £5 - $10 for both of us, I know wages and stuff weren't as high then but now it costs my brother in law about £60 - $120 to take my nephew but I know for a fact my brother in law isn't earning 6 times as much as my dad when he used to take me.

Also the advent of Hillsborough and violence it's brought in all seater stadiums were I've been brought up with standing, although some fans get around the seating policy big example being Man Utd at away games their fans always stand and nobody does anything but in the end how you going to make 5,000 people sit down if they don't want to
