Being a big football fan, l always find it sad when l see Scottish football on Tv all the empty seats.

Even in the EPL and grounds in the championship etc, l find it sad when l see this. Could this be down to the pricing of getting into grounds ?

I am sure that you are aware that you can watch big games whether in England or Scotland on TV, cheaper than going into a ground.

Ie when l took my grandchildren to see Spurs play, we bought drinks outside the ground, BUT were stopped taking them into the ground - inside the ground a bottle of water was DOUBLE the price of outside, and a pie was double the price.

I went to Wembley with them and the cost of TWO HOTDOGS was nearly £25.00

And the cost of getting into a ground was extremely high, If l wanted to see a game at Spurs, for myself and two grandchildren was nearly £250.00

And yet these players are getting an absolute fortune, so who is ruining the game so that the supporter can afford to see there favourite team. I haven't been to Spurs for about TWO years, as it is cheaper to watch on TV, so with all the money clubs get from TV etc, they can surely reduce the cost of entry and fill those empty seats.
