german fans organised a boycott inside a couple of months
over a 50% 'top-game' surcharge for their derby at the weekend. i suppose it's easier to mobilise people for an egregious one-off surcharge than a steady increase over a period of several years but still, it puts 'g&g' in perspective.
the bundesliga puts the premier league to shame in so many ways. english clubs, national sides, leagues and fans could really do with learning a bit from their german equivalents. Quote:

I dont think a mass boycott would ever be successfull at a premiership club. The mentality of the majority of fans in england is alot different to the rest of europe, where there is more fan identity and culture on the terraces. In the premier league there is no unity, fan culture is almost non existent and there are too many selfish @#%&!s with a lack of %@#$&!s who prefer to keep their head in the sand, e.g 95% of the old trafford crowd. |

the point about dortmund fans not paying for huntelaar shouldn't be overlooked
what's the average wage of your bundesliga side? do you want to watch top players enough to pay more on the gate? or do you want to have a beer, stand up, pay less, and watch lower paid footballers? suppose none of these things are necessarily mutually exclusive, but then the money has to come from somewhere to pay the likes of Rooney 150k a week or whatever... |
