Unfortunately this seems to be something we will have to get used to more and more, and not just at the Arsenal. Ticket prices are already out of reach for a large percentage of those that would love to go, used to go but can't. And it's not just football. Rugby, boxing (I'm talking major title fights here) and tennis comes to mind. Would love to go but unfortunately Twickenham and Wimbledon prices are beyond my reach.

Jah Lush Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I agree with all of the above. I've not been to White Hart Lane this season as I can no longer afford it. I get my footballing fix at Dulwich Hamlet these days and to be honest I think I enjoy it more there where the fans wouldn't dream of booing their own players and who get behind the team week in week out even when they are three-nil down as was the case last Saturday.

malumbu Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 OK I've calmed down now.Both of my boys' teams got 2-2 draws yesterday, although the park match was far more entertaining. Must make an effort to get to DHFC more often.Anyway back to my earlier comments but changing sport. I actually like going to Wimbledon (tennis), but remember not so many years ago sitting behind a couple of gents checking their e-mails on their Blackberries (this was in a world before i phones, well before they were universal) whilst the tennis match was on and being quite surprised. Fast forward this to Friday, when I was at Old Colfeans near Blackheath whilst the rugger was on. I was playing badminton but could hear the roars from the lounge as England came back to beat Wales. I checked the score occasionally and it was a rowdy if good natured audience, but again imagine my surprise to see a handful glued to their i-phones whilst the match was on. Doing what?? And not kids. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/183/#findComment-821844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwelts Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah crazy what they pay :o ridiclous amount of money. and yeah good to see balotelli scoring. good results for arsenal yesterday and man u can go 4th in their next game.

nicklas Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thank goodness there is other options to watch live matches the subcription to sky is too expensive. The amount of money there is in football is quite something on another note I hear it means teams will be lowering their ticket prices. ?

Otta Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll believe that when I see it. But at least more and more people are calling for it, and the clubs really can't justify not doing it. However they'll say something along the lines of "to continue to provide the best league in the world it is important that we invest this money in the best talent otherwise they'll go elsewhere". Bit like bankers and bonuses innit. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/183/#findComment-822437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 But more importantly, what a bloody match last night! Obviously I was happy with the end result, but hand on heart I was well in to it like I've not been in to a match for quite a while. Great entertainment.Loved how Balotelli was chasing everything and wasting time at the end. Spurs p[layers looked like they wanted to slap him (understandably).

Jah Lush Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah, great match. Pity about the result. I think Spurs deserved a draw but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Nevertheless great entertainment.I just knew when Balotelli came on he was going to score and so it proved. I'm glad he's finally off the mark because there is no doubting his quality. He's suffered in a similar way to Soldado in that the way the team is set up to play doesn't suit his natural game.

Otta Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yep, quality player, but doesn't fit Rogers' style, and Rogers doesn't seem to be the type to bend at all. You can't expect a player to totally change to fit in, otherwise you'll lose their best atributes. Surely they can meet half way? Last night he gets a chance in the box, and he scores. Says it all.And yeah, either side would have been worthy winners. Liked the way Spurs went for it, they didn't look like an away team.

Ladygooner Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Watched the end of the game on the concourse at the Emirates after our win - obviously there was a lot of cheering when Balotelli's goal went in!

???? Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Re Football prices, I think they will come down as a result of the deal but right now West Ham are one of only 3 clubs in the Premiership to offer adult tickets for ?20 (C list fixtures admiitedly)I can't knock them too much. aAd when we move to OS I think they'll offer great deals to fill it so I am looking forward to a family season ticket type deal.

titch juicy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I imagine because he's managed to turn an exciting young side with bags of potential into a team that's only scored 12 goals in 25 prem games in the space of less than 12 months.10 less goals than any other team in the prem.

StraferJack Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm not saying there is any argument in your statement titch. We are in agreement about the whole situation as far as I can seeI was just saying that my "why?" Post was faux naive but you took it at face value. And that's fine too.
