I do wonder if there will be a tipping point with the cost of supporting Arsenal. The club always claim demand is high but at some stage surely the majority fan base will turn round and say you're taking the piss. All this additional revenue from advertising & TV etc; yet it's not reflected in the ticket prices. Personally I am becoming less and less inclined to put money into their coffers. Each year the number of live games I attend reduces.
And you're replaced by the tourists who sat infront of me on Saturday, they were clutching their bag of goodies from the Armoury...kerching! I do wonder if they miss out long term as kids tell their parents they'd rather follow Citeh or Chavs etc :sick: due to lack of successQuote:

If you feel so passionately about the transformation of sport into profiteering you should maybe seek a role at the club. We'll all leave, you can pick up a few extra quid reminding the tourists how privileged they are.
I wouldn't put it past him to miss and hit the neighbours house! :lol:Quote:

I don't see Arsenal losing out too much in tourist income tbh, well at least until Spuffs and Chavs open up bigger stadiums (and to a lesser extent those up north teams too).Quote:
