So far, the crowds at the matches seem good natured. Controversial question but

Do you think by pricing the tickets high, it excludes the aggressive chavs that are assisted with violence at matches? Dont get me wrong, I’d rather see passionate, knowledgable and emotional fans than a bunch of corporate whatnots who can afford to go but don’t know much else about the game. Whether we will ever see the atmosphere of past tournaments that were held in Europe or South American again, I doubt. Some friends went to Qatar and said it was excellent, safe, welcoming and enjoyable. They are Dubai based in anycase but they are fully aware of what football should be about.
I dunno.
