Frankly I think it's ridiculously expensive

but people seem to have come to accept it with barely a complaint. 25-30 odd quid for very dubious entertainment.

Does anyone else in the world pay that much to watch football? For that price I watch world cup qualifiers in some of the best seats South America's national stadia have to offer
