35 years ago we all went to a football match, full of hope, on the sunniest of days.
97 men, women and children never returned. They're not just a number, they had lives and dreams, families that love them now and always.
Us, the survivors returned, our lives changed forever, we…

Today, on the 35th anniversary, our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and the 97 fans who will never be forgotten #Hillsborough #Justice #JFT97 #YNWA ❤️

Awful incident yesterday involving South Shields FC supporters returning from watching their team. 17 hospitalised although BBC News reporting no fatalities.

Thoughts with all involved and here's wishing a full recovery to everyone.

All this talk about PL clubs desperately needing to increase ticket prices.
They don't.
Commercial/TV revenue enormous. They spend huge sums on transfers & wages - utterly frivolously in some cases. & they've paid agents £409.5 MILLION this season. Absurd theathletic.com/5410285/2024/0…

Tomorrow marks the 35 years since the Hillsborough disaster

An impeccably observed silence at Anfield with a special display on the Kop.

Time for our annual tweet about disorder at the races, the tone of the coverage and how football fans are held to an entirely different standard.

Top-flight football has a spending problem, not an income problem. Squeezing fans for every last penny makes little difference to a club's bottom line - matchday income is a small % of PL club revenue.

Again, the Premier League spends more than £2bn more on wages than any other league. And yet so many clubs raising prices - this is a distinctive and unnecessary choice - that actually makes no economic sense and is unmooring clubs from communities

Chelsea paid the highest amount of fees to agents & intermediaries compared to other Premier League clubs for the 2023-24 season.

#CFC spent £75.1m ($93.2m) on fees paid to agents & intermediaries — in figures published by the FA — between February 1, 2023 to February 1, 2024.…

But remember folks, ticket prices *must* go up.

Thought about travelling away to watch the @lionesses ? Worried about travelling on your own?

Don’t worry we will always try to hold out a helping hand. From travel guides to community meet ups we try to provide a community/support around traveling to watch Lionesses

Strong letter from Newcastle United Supporters Trust on their concerns around the spiralling price of attending football, and the impact on the community and traditions of our clubs.

Price hikes and the axing of senior concessions at #Spurs are more examples of the greed sweeping through our game.

Wrote this in November &, sure enough, loads of clubs have put ticket prices up.

As Kieran Maguire said: “A lot of clubs were freezing prices & waiting for somebody else to break ranks. This is classic oligopoly market behaviour.'

Now they're all at it.
