Registered 10 years agoAlso, shock horror, an "investigation" not comparing apples with apples. For 19 games, our cheapest ST works out at £720 pro-rata. Cheaper than Spurs and Liverpool (apparently, not checked, Liverpool seems far fetched). I have no problem them saying we're the most expensive, but at least highlight that we get 7 cup games included. -

Good to see that Steven Gerrard has spoken out about the abuse. The report I read doesn't mention if he was wearing a t shirt with pictures of Serbian fans on it.
We English can't claim the higher moral ground on racism now that our standard punishment for racist abuse is a 4 game ban. Pathetic.Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

Its also reasonably relative. Yes, you are expensive, but you are the number four team in the country. Its the middling championship and league one teams charging 30-40 quid a throw that are really cutting their own throats in the long term.

Registered 10 years agoPlus a London-based club. But yeah, I'm amazed at some of the regular prices charged by Championship/League 1 sides. Even non-league isn't the cheap day out you think it will be. My local Wessex league team charged a tenner last time I looked. -

Registered 7 years agoMonetary fines are just so pointless with what these players earn. Missing games is the only thing that really punishes them. -

I remember hearing harry going on about club fines on the radio saying that when he first started a fine for being late to training or whatever used to go in a pot and went behind the bar at the christmas party. But nowadays the money they have to fine players is, in the real world, so much that they have to do something constructive with it, like give it to charity.

Registered 11 years agoThey should make the players play games in their pants and vest as a punishment or perhaps have the name changed on the back of the shirt to "Arsehole" for a few games.This space left intentionally blank.

Registered 7 years agoThis BBC value survey seems a bit obsessed with programs and pies. I know you see everyone heading for the concourse at half time but do people really buy them every week?

Registered 11 years agoIt's impossible to attend a football match without buying a pie, especially an evening game where you may already had dinner before going to the football so aren't in any way hungry.This space left intentionally blank.

Quite, nothing perverted about it. Just the classic PE teacher of old. Also known for being incredibly hands-on and fastidious in the general cleanliness of their pupils' groins and bums in the showers.

In my experience it's all tea in a thermos and sandwiches in clingfilm. That's at Wigan though; not sure you'd get into the ground with them at Arsenal.

Registered 10 years agoSurely that should be the other way round....if there's no cross-subsidy by food, prices should go up....
Anyway, I have a feeling at Arsenal that the club sees very little of our income from food/drink sales. And it is by far the most shambolic operation I have ever seen. No 2 games are the same, different products on at different prices at the same kiosks etc, and then there's the staff. Fuck me. -

Registered 2 years agoThe food always looks terrible there too. You would think that when they're charging £50+ for a match ticket they would have some options that might be a bit better quality than the equivalent of a greasy burger van.

When I was a student I actually worked for the agency that provides the Emirates food staff...they're definitely not the brightest bunch. That's true in general in London though. Whereas provincial stadia will mostly be youngish people doind it temporarily, a lot of the London staff are older and not capable of doing anything more demanding. Quite often they're working two or three other jobs too. Doesn't make for the greatest workforce.

They must have a massive wait list do they? -
Just saw Jason Roberts' interview. Well done that man, hope everyone jumps on board.
