An MP has suggested that football fans should switch their support to non-league clubs because of the high cost of tickets in the Premier League. Liberal Democrat President Tim Farron has tabled a motion in the House of Commons following BBC Sport's 2012 Price Of Football survey.
Farron said many football fans find prices "unaffordably high". The price of the cheapest average adult tickets in English football has risen by 11.7% over the last 12 months. Farron, who represents Westmorland and Lonsdale in Cumbria, cites Chelsea and West Ham as examples of high pricing, where the cheapest matchday tickets cost £41 and £36 respectively. He believes supporting non-League teams, such as Kendal Town and Barrow, "will boost community football whilst also bringing collective consumer pressure on the top teams to reduce their prices".
Erm...what? Who is going to change the club they support?
