Depending on the game; kids are as little as £15, mate..... Even £70 adult seats for Cat A games are only £35 for juniors & OAPs.
Agree and disagree, we need to streamline, but that comes in phases.
In that we need to buy early, because we aspire to the higher calibre players potentially avaialable.
Yet, in waiting until we unload, we are placing ourselves at the end of the market. When we could buy, and take the potential hit on a few we may get lowballed because clubs see we already have replacements.
It‘s Football Fan Stockholm Syndrome, to not be utterly perplexed by Levy/ENIC right now.

150M British Pounds? Is he a Levy multi?
For that money: Ich würde ihn nach München fahren und ihn auf beide Wangen küssen
I put an agree on this because it’s a great point well made.
However, setting the limit at the time the new stadium opened is reasonable. For one, the stadium depressed spending before we opened in a pretty blatant way. This did not affect our rivals.
Secondly, the new stadium has increased our capacity to spend so the time since then is a better representation of our capacity (and perhaps willingness) to spend.
Of course there are a lot of factors at play here but there is a story behind setting the cut off that

did. The data only measures what it measures and doesn’t give a complete picture but it does enough to dispel certain persistant myths around a reluctance to spend.The issue is surely HOW we spend, not HOW MUCH we spend.
More misery is my bet
I stand corrected.
That's steep compared to a cinema ticket but still not 80 quid
It’s self interest.
He has a player with one year left on his contract that he wants to get as much as he can for.
He's worth 40m if anyone wants to pay that.
They clearly don't.
Woolwich might be dumb enough.
They will and then they’ll sign him.
think barca might late swoop him, ter stegen getting on a bit and suits their system
I doubt we’d be even interested if he weren’t entering the final year of his contract.
There’s no planning or targeting of players. It’s all opportunity and whoever an agent offers. We just aren’t a serious football club.
Frank is trying to show Bayern Munich how cheap Raya is to buy at £40m - hence suggesting Kane is worth £150m (much more for best striker in PL versus one of best GK's in PL)
With what money, they are beyond broke.
Don't forget that we're paying these very average players more than most clubs in other countries can afford. So any player that doesn't give a fuck about playing is more than happy to stay at the club and collect their wages on the bench. Fantastic scouting!
sales of kessie and few others, got rid of busquets and alba's wages
I don't want to defend Levy because this mess is all of his own making, but no responsible chairman is going to add significant new contracts to our current wage bill while there are so many unwanted players on big salaries.
Reguilon, Ndombele, Gil, Rodon, Perisic, Lloris, Sanchez, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Spence, we are probably paying them more than £1m a week altogether. Until those salaries are officially off our books we don't have much leeway for new contracts.
It will also be very difficult to get rid of those players so far away from the deadline, any interested clubs will wait until they know we are desperate. All the years of bad transfers are killing us now.
