One area they could improve is the bloody wifi at most grounds.

This was my old job kind of. It’s quite staggering how tight PL clubs are on things to improve fan experience, whereas in the US it’s really high up the list and huge deals are made out of wifi usage at Super Bowls etc. admittedly US sports are longer, more breaks and more of an event. U.K. slowly catching on but of course none really want to pay and expect sponsorship deals and the like which are heavily in favour of the PL club.

Some of the US owned PL teams are now investing but it’s a long hard slog…

Especially at Old Trafford. Many of their fans spent most of their time on their phones at our recent game there. The least the Glaziers could do is cater for this hobby.

PL unanimously confirmed the £30 away cap at their meeting today. For next three seasons - so thankfully the warning in this thread title will not come to pass.

Teams charge different prices depending on the opposition. So Brighton v Liverpool ticket prices are higher than Brighton v Burnley ticket prices. Before the away price cap this meant following Liverpool away costs a lot more in ticket prices than following Burnley away.

Yeah - but isn't that just economics?

If you want to go and see a show at the London Palladium you pay significantly more than a ticket for a show at the Worthing Assembly Rooms. If you want to go racing and see the best horses at Royal Ascot it is going to cost you a hell of a lot more than going racing on a wet Wednesday evening at Fontwell.

If you are privilieged enough to be able to buy tickets to watch IMO the most attractive club side in the world with many of the world's best players then you should pay more for those tickets than going to watch a "lesser" team (like us!).

I see nothing wrong for paying a higher charge when you are getting to see the best.

Bad mistake starting up this thread

Shame the increases in petrol and train costs far outweigh the benefits

You don't get it do you? Why should a big six supporter pay more to watch his team away when #teamslikebrighton can go to Fulham for peanuts?
Back to the subject in question. All we need now is a government or FA backed scheme whereby we can buy a 'match day train ticket' at advance prices that can be swopped for a train ticket for the day of the game when the game gets moved.
