Gave up my season ticket last year after 33 years. It was a tough decision, but the bills don't get any less and I didn't come away from games thinking that was £50 or £60 well spent.
One of the things that was a reason not to give it up was the thought of holding out until retirement when the pricing would be more sensible. Looks like that's gone now.
I've only been once this season, partly because my Dad passed away last year, but I needed a break from the aggro of it all. I miss the football and the people, but I don't miss being made a mug of by Levy.
Football just feels broken now - prices, stupid kick off times, VAR, European CL changes, international breaks for meaningless fixtures and it's just such a shame.
It's really sad that they continue to shoot themselves in the foot, undermining any good will from the excellent team performance. Football clubs have to invest in their supporters , few rarely do , with a nurturing of the youth which engenders the sense of belonging and loyalty to the club which lasts a lifetime. That lifetime love and unconditional support should be rewarded when we grow older , compromise the need to make money at every opportunity with something a bit more decent and respectful. Levy and his fellow boards lack both of these
Everything feels slightly broken across the board at the moment, nice of our football clubs to reflect that for us too. I am always in shock at how a press release gets through so many people and still reads like this. Brentford is the same, just on a much smaller scale of course!
A pertinent piece, Martin, especially as I fear Chelsea will be thinking along the same lines (I believe our average ST holder age is higher than Tottenham's).
Utterly shameful, yet utterly predictable. Our generation tend to shop less in the Mugastore, and drink and eat less in the ground, so they would love to be shot of us.

Very, very sad....
