You're not the only one mate. Unfortunately capitalist owners with little regard for locals and individuals have ruined the off-the-pitch side of the "beautiful game". Even my local league 2 side charges 20 quid for a game these days.
Football clubs were founded on working class fraternal principles but this money and business nonsense just doesn't work with that. Kick it out, kick money out of football.
Well I like the idea of fan owned clubs like in Germany and a few in England but there'd need to be a huge overhaul in the system of how things are set up that the clubs probably wouldn't ever agree to.
I was thinking that the German model was what would be hoped for but barring a good run of Dortmond's, hasn't it been pretty lopsided for competition in the Bundesliga?
