I am a big footie fan and watch it all the time (not Arsenal though, or Celtic. I do have my principles)
When l firt started to Spurs. the whole day cost me £20 and that included entrance fee.
Now, l cannot go due to the price. It would cost be somewhere in the region of £100.00 I am not paying that
My wife took me and the family / Grandchildren (which was great) and that was on a family ticket. and that costly.
I think Barca only charge the equivalent of £20.00 and they are the very best in football.
But no, while fans are prepared t pay the money - it will get shown

I dont think the EPL will get the same increase next time. People said that last time and i disagreed i think its hit the peak now. TV ratings are down. Thats the important thing. Advertisers will not pay as much which will worry lickle sky and murdoch who are there to make a profit remember.
Losing the champions league to bt is probably the best thing ever as it means BT have been saddled with a hugely expensive contract with little movement on their subscriptions.
Both companies have been burnt by their experiences. Expect some sort of truce in 2 years time. Brexit will reduce the pound too so everything is worth less.
I can expect the amounts spent will remain the same and our prices may go up a few quid but hopefully, hopefully it wont increase as much as it has
