HAS THE PRICE RANGE MATCHED THE WINNING RATE?
It’s come to my
attention that the official price rate to watch a manchester united game at Old
Trafford or away is very expensive in england especially for a popular football
club like Manchester United. After a couple of research in the web I found that
Old Trafford charges each fan $37 a game to see our beloved Manchester United
team play each week and I am going to assume that when the team faces an opponent
away the price the fans will have to pay will be a little more expensive than a
home game at Old Trafford. If the fans were to include the expenses of booking
a flight to the away games if necessary, the overnight hotel, the food and
the occasional visit to the pub after the game then the fans will obviously be
expected to spend more than 37 pounds, that’s about $61.74 a game for the fans. In Other Words, for the hard core Manchester
United fans that have decided to attend every Red devil game of the season then
the fan will be expected to pay around $450 to $750 for a whole season per fan.
That is a lot of money for any fan to pay and watch the team go through a
number of recent seasons without winning the premier league trophy or at least
playing in the desired Champions League competition.
Yes, I would agree
with anyone who says that the premiere league is not as conducive as it used to be during Sir Alex Ferguson era
because if i am being totally honest and unbiased on my analysis of Manchester United
football, which I always am, then i will say that the Premiere League was more
favourable to big teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and yes Manchester United
in the past. In the modern football however, everyone can agree that there is
no such thing as the dominant teams in England anymore. Any team can be victorious in the modern day
Premier League competition. A perfect
example is how the current defending
champions Leicester City progressed from playing League One football two seasons
ago to defying all the odds by becoming Premier League champions and appearing
in the UEFA Champions League Competition for the first time in the clubs
history. But for the amount of money it
costs each Manchester United fans to actually go and watch Manchester
United play live football games in Stadiums, coupled with the star studded
players Manchester United football currently has residing in the team's roster
then is it unreasonable for the fans to expect at least a top four spot weekly?
Pogba, Mata, Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rooney, Bailey and so many Manchester United
players all earning around at least
100,000 pounds per week and yet in some games the fans are still biting their nails
hoping the team can somehow pull off a narrow victory. A narrow victory? Really?
With the amount skillful players capable of creating goal scoring chances from
anywhere in the team yet the club pulls out narrow victories and the occasional
losses. Confidence and team chemistry needs to improve in the club. Today we
host our rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford and the players, the fans will know that
history has proven that a victory in today's game will not come easy. Infact, if Manchester United do not play
vigilant, accurate football for almost 90 minutes, the Red Devils might find
themselves in danger of loosing todays massive game. Stay vigilant, play
together, know that the fans will support you even more when you play good,
strong, quality football. Every Manchester
United player should know that yes you have a massive price range on
your head which comes with heavy pressure and expectation but rather than let
that burden wear you down, turn that burden into Motivation and hunger to win as
much games as possible. That should always be the philosophy of Manchester
United football club.
