Re: "Price of football" study

These figures don't stand up to scrutiny.

For example, Rotherham, Torquay and Plymouth are all shown as charging a minimum of £10 per match but, if you check their websites, tickets for their first home league matches are shown as £18, £17 and £20 respectively.

Possibly, they've given the over-60s price as the minimum or even a reduced price that they are charging for an isolated Carling Cup tie. We don't know what the clubs were asked to provide but, whatever the explanation, the table is just a nonsense and it's quite likely that Stanley's league prices are the lowest after all.

Yet another case of a sloppy journalist not bothering to check the facts properly?
