City V Leicester M.o.t.d

[magicmick]

Just watching MOTD I thought it was at Anfield where the fans were leaving in the 77th minute.O:-)

[horseshoes]

Just watching the Liverpool game now. Why are the fans leaving?

[Sycamore3House]

It is a protest about ticket prices for next season.

[tonyav]

The Liverpool fans left at 77 minutes in protest to club making most expensive tickets £77 next season.

[magicmick]

Certain tickets going up to £77, so they staged a protest by walking out in the 77th min.

To think I used to get in for a shilling at the Boys' Entrance at Villa Park

[-SharonA-]

Daisy you're going back a bit!!!

[horseshoes]

Thanks. Shearer and Linnekar were just discussing it and saying that tickets should be £10 and £20. Well! Of course they should. Football is SUPPOSED to be the sport of the people, not just rich ones. How on earth do people afford to go to matches?

[tonyav]

How much was a programme, Daisy ?.

[magicmick]

Not sure horseshoes but I think you will find it more at Chelsea/Arsenal

[Davemano]

Exorbitant players wages and exorbitant ticket prices. The fans have the answer to this situation, instead of leaving at 77 minutes, just don't go because you are paying the wages. A boycott would soon turn the tables.

[horseshoes]

Oops my team Arsenal. I'm quite ashamed to admit that although I've supported them since I was about 12 or 13 (50 years ago), I've never been to see than play at home. Costs about £90 to get to London before forking out for a ticket!

[horseshoes]

Davemano, you have a point there.

[tonyav]

Big match next Sunday, horseshoes. Arsenal v Leicester. I think if Leicester can get anything out of Arsenal they will most likely end up as league champs.

[Buenchico]

£77? Ruddy lucky northerners!

In London they could already be paying £81 (Spurs), £87 (Chelsea), £95 (West Ham) or £97 (Arsenal)!

Horseshoes I went to the 1979 Cup final Arsenal v Man United my ticket was £5 and £10 return on the train.

[tonyav]

London weighting, Chris !

[horseshoes]

Tony, my husband was having physio in a fire service place some months ago, and there was a chap there with him from near Leicester whose mate had rung him up from the bookies and said Leicester are 1000/1. Shall we bung a tenner each on? So they did. If they'd been quicker they'd have got 5000/1.

I hope we see the BRILLIANT Arsenal next week rather than the "ordinary" Arsenal.

[horseshoes]

Happy days Magicmick.

[tonyav]

A very good bet there, horseshoes, it has the makings of a great match. But has you say depends on if an ordinary or a great Arsenal turn up !.

[horseshoes]

Oops sorry Tony. I meant they got 1000/1 for Leicester to win the league.
