A record 116 supporters groups and fan advisory boards have signed an eight-point letter to the Premier League calling for a two-year freeze on home ticket prices, in an initiative organised by the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA).
The move represents one of the biggest fan mobilisations in English football history, as the groups have declared themselves “deeply concerned” with the constant price rises and general cost of attending football, despite such figures having a negligible effect on the Premier League’s willingness to spend well over £2.5bn more on players wages and agents fees than any other league in the world.
