But on Wednesday there was unity in the air, as well as righteous fury, as rival fans gathered over a pint before a march on Premier League headquarters to protest against ticket prices. Rather than baiting one another, cries of "You greedy bastards, enough is enough", "We hate Sky Sports and we hate Sky Sports" and "Supporters, united, will never be defeated" filled the air as Arsenal fans marched alongside their Spurs counterparts and Liverpool supporters joined forces with Manchester United diehards.

Proud

Mass boycott the matches. Let the clubs feel the pinch.

"We could charge more than £104. Let’s say we charged £300. We’d get £2m more in income but what’s £2m to us? In a transfer discussion you argue about that sum for five minutes. But the difference between £104 and £300 is huge for the fan. We do not think the fans are like cows, who you milk. Football has got to be for everybody. That’s the biggest difference between us and England."

Well, looks like the English fans finally start to understand that they have to act together, if they want to move something.

Bayern gets only 20000 fans per match in attendance?

EDIT: It is income and not revenue. Sorry about that...

Nevertheless, one of the reasons i admire German clubs....
