Are ticket prices now beyond a joke?
A report has revealed that the cost of season tickets for next year at Premier League clubs has risen by 8% - that's more than twice the rate of consumer price inflation.
The average cost of a mid-priced season ticket has risen to £590, with some clubs' prices going up by as much as 20 per cent.
Premier League clubs get huge benefits from television revenues, which have increased rapidly in recent years - yet still they continue to impose substantial increases in season ticket costs.
Is the bubble set to burst? Are ordinary folk being priced out of football? Is Premier League football going to be restricted to the 'prawn sandwich' brigade? Share your views here.

save the money you would have spent on games in a pot for your kids private education and with their better qualifications and subsequent degree's they would have a nice top earning job (in a city) and be able to watch premiership footy in the future at the sacrifice of you watching now
