On the talk about geography and where people are from.
Some things are very much local. People need to have a chance to go to the games. Kids need to be given a chance too see the team. Some things, like how the club affects the people in the area, definitely local.
Personally, I'd love it if I could travel and turn up and pay at the gate. I'd love cheaper tickets. I don't want to pay £150 for a ticket through some travel agent. Which is the way it works. And that's for a game vs say WBA. Meaning this is the regular fee, not premium. It's obviously a business and tickets must be secured through touts. I could fly, return, for less. I paid less for a CL Final ticket (official source) and less for a World Cup game ticket. Makes me reluctant to go. Because it's expensive, but also because I'm probably paying some season ticket holder who makes a good living off the club. Doesn't feel right. Point being all fans, local and travelling, are being priced out. The 'good' thing with this, is we have a problem in common. It's not local vs OOT. Lower prices and better availability benefits everyone.
When it comes to FSG, I am and have always been suspicious as I don't believe in distant owners. That said, they are getting things done. Like I have said before here, they have improved our finances. They have made funds available for the manager. They are expanding the stadium. I don't think it's fair to say they are some kind of evil businessmen who are trying to run things on a shoestring budget. Which is along the lines of what I read. They are going ahead with the stadium. Moores didn't. G&H didn't. I find it difficult to fault FSG for what they do. Things can always improve, but now we are moving, not just talking. One step at a time.
Our problem is not so much FSG. They are not holding us back. What's problematic is our transfers.
