Football Banter Thread

Gunners get it worse than anyone in general though visiting fans are never happy. Liverpool fans quite rightly complaining about £93 ticket prices...... When tv/league money has increased every year...... and then ticket prices do also it's a bit of a joke, not least considering we charge more than any other top team with little success to go with those prices.

Arsenal should have stopped at £60 max for the non executive seating levels, and simply stopped throwing money around at useless players years ago.

I always mean to look into the entire structure of the German league, Bayern are pretty close to top of the tables in terms of revenue, yet with seemingly very low ticket prices I'm not quite sure where they beat say Utd on income, domestic tv money, more sponsorship deals, not sure.

Atmosphere at german games seems incredible as well. If my knee's ever improve, I really want to try and go to a few Dortmund games.

I'm not sure how the seat allocation works for the away side at Arsenal for the FA Cup but I do know that the £93 tickets will be upper tier at the side of the pitch. It'll be £60 something for the majority of the away seats as that's the usual price at the ends of the stadium. Still too much.

It's the way it's going, it's like the training kit deal we have with DHL, it won't be long until it's like in France etc where there are several sponsors on the same shirt. (It might already be being done in the lower leagues?)

Utd bought out their DHL deal ages ago. They've sold off their training kit along with renaming your training ground to AON for something in the region of £19m per year.

That's the crux of it really, the 'bigger' teams will be getting lots more because they hold the dominant position.

The likes of United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City etc will be demanding more because of the exposure those advertisers will get. The DHL one for United got me, they pay us a huge amount just for their logo on the training pitch but if you think how many pictures you see in the paper of Rooney et al on the training ground, it makes sense.

That's exactly the reason. They had a press-conference for our Dunkin Donuts deal and their executive admitted that they couldn't afford to advertise on TV all over the world but by signing an agreement with Liverpool, every week their logo is on display in near enough every country in the world.

So last season then.

The AON training kit deal was only from the start of the season iirc.

Love how one of the "13 year olds" is quite clearly Marco Reus. Pretty sure they have just hash tagged a piece of Sunderland news as #Potters too. Has USASoccerGuy taken over their Twitter or something? *Facepalm*

The most interesting man in the Bundesliga, Jurgen Klopp, photobombed some 13-year-olds. Legend. (via @bvbawesome)
