Originally posted by topcat All seater stadiums have made it impossible for kids to go to a football match and meat up with their mates. Not just the price of tickets but the scarcity of cheaper tickets too. No idea where the next generation of football fans is going to come from once we have died out. When I first started going to Selhurst ~15 years ago, I paid Ł80 for a U16 season ticket in the family stand, and I could bring a mate who could pick up a ticket on the day for a tenner at most.

That night against Burnley we had over 52,000 in the stadium, (OK Clearly not sustainable health & safety wise) but with seating we are about 26,000 capacity-it could of course be argued that we have TV money now, but with that has come a higher cost of players / salaries etc etc. Originally posted by topcat All seater stadiums have made it impossible for kids to go to a football match and meat up with their mates.
