But that’s football for you.

But surely this needs revisiting now that every game is televised, which is clearly hurting attendances.
The ruling is ‘The away club has no say in the home club’s pricing and the home club is not legally obligated to consult them’. The home club are obligated to charge away fans the same for equivalent areas of their ground except four 4 occasions in one season where they’re allowed to offer ‘local promotions’ on ticket prices. I’m not aware of the City using the ‘local promotion’ option yet this season, I may be wrong but if I’m not, we’re still allowed to drop prices for 4 home games regardless of opposition.
