Re: Reasons why we bother................

You can't make comparisons like that Bazf. Italy is a completely different proposition to England and Juventus is a case on its own anyway.

It may be under £14 to watch Juventus at the Stadio Delle Alpi, but relatively few Turin residents turn out to watch them. Even at the recent 'Derby of Italy' between Juventus and Internazionale, the stadium was less than half full. When was the last time you saw Highbury or Old Trafford less than half full for a first team game?

It's supply and demand, and you could sell Juventus tickets for £1 and you still wouldn't sell them all. Hence the low prices in Italy.
