This town IS big enough...

Seems as though starting your own club is the new trend with dissatisfied EPL fans. Next up, Liverpool fans have decided it's their turn to create a club whose matches they can afford to attend on a regular basis. I think this is really the saddest part of the changes in any league. To price out your long time and usually the strongest of fans, just to boost the net gains of the club itself. Doesn't advertising bring in loads for any decent club? And let's not even get into the very high-priced contracts that many athletes have signed into lately, I'm sure they deserve it, but who pays? Not the owners obviously.

Sadly this happens with a lot of smaller sports teams, even amateur teams. I can only speak directly about our local "Seminoles." When I was a wee lad, won't directly discuss dates or age but it was definitely over 15 years ago, the going rate for a regular season pass was about $40-60, depending on the number of home games. Now, I understand that with inflation that price will surely rise over time, but as the team gets better and/or more popular the owner understands more money is there to be had. Prices begin to rise exponentially. Today a regular season pass is now in the $300/season pass range.

All said and done, i'm just jealous Liverpool has enough fans for a single soccer club, much less two...Tallahassee had a team...a while ago...but no more.
