I can understand a Premier League club charging more than a League Two club for entry to the ground, but no club should be allowed to categorise matches in an individual competition during a season.

I agree we do live in a market based economy but in this country we have various regulators that set the price of the commodities we buy. In the FA Cup match revenues are split between both clubs and the FA, in the Premier League and Football League match revenues are kept by the home club...

I'm not against lower prices in specific competitions but I am against categorising matches in a competition based on the attractiveness (or lack of attractiveness) for the team that the side you support is playing against.

In a market based economy it does, but there are other models apart from the market based economy. Who sets the price controls in the energy market in the UK then?

I don't think it's down to the FA to set a cap on ticket prices on competitions that they don't organise, that would also be down to the Premier League and the Football League. The FA could only set a cap in ticket prices for FA competitions. I agree though that a cap on match ticket prices is...

It is the basis of everything in a market economy and not the basis of everything! Are you a season ticket holder by any chance? When categorising matches as you have suggested will the price be lowered for home and away fans?

I don't think categorisation in any league competition is fair to be honest, all it does is exploit home and away football fans and should be banned. This is what the FSF thought about it all a few years back: The Football Supporters' Federation - Away ticket price campaign

Agreed and categorising matches is miles away from reducing prices for everyone for individual fixtures in different competitions. I would be quite happy for the club to reduce prices for everyone in the FA Cup and League Cup matches, but to reduce or increase prices in certain seating areas in...

Short term view. If they can't sell seats for less attractive games then why not give them away to kids - the fans of the future?

Technically they are, but only for different competitions. I thought some of the League Cup games last season were cheaper than the Championship fixtures, I may be wrong however.

If prices are to be reduced then prices should be reduced for all games. Why should it be more expensive for home and away fans to watch a Category A match as opposed to a Category B match? If the club are going to have difficulty in filling the stadium for the so called lesser teams then how...

Why not lower prices for all fixtures? I read your post and I still stand by my original point: categorisation of football matches should be banned.

Categorisation of football matches should be banned; it's nothing more than profiteering and is the ultimate in exploitation of fans. Ticket prices should be based on the view that you get from your seat in the stadium and the amenities that the seat gives you too.

Make sure the season ticket is in a substantial envelope; I work for Royal Mail and I have seen a few ripped envelopes over the years that have contained cards. Occasionally they get ripped as they go through the machines.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The two islands of Britain and Ireland make up what's called the British Isles. Britain or Great Britain is therefore separate from Northern Ireland which is in the island of Ireland.

Fan base and history and you have Leicester, Southampton and West Ham above Forest?!!! How many European Cups and league titles have Leicester, Southampton and West Ham won?

What about the fans who have organised the PFT? Are they obnoxious?

Do you have satellite or cable?

I wasn't talking about Pompey per say, I was referring to your point that other League 1 clubs will overspend to match Pompey.

All League 1 and League 2 clubs have signed up to Football League Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP), this limits these clubs spending too much money on players as a percentage of their turnover. The Football League | About Us | FAQs | FL Explained | FL Explained | Financial Fair Play in...
