Why? What's better about the Bundesliga than can feasibly be replicated? We've got a more lucrative league of far better footballing quality.

This is certainly debatable from the absolute dross the premier league has been this season.

How much is ticketing and STs worth as a % of a club's turnover nowadays? Probably not that much given the monster TV deals and sponsorships going around. I know every penny counts, but lower ticket prices and thus more packed stadiums would probably be a positive for the clubs too.

It certainly tends to when there's a far better standard of players on the pitch.

 

How are fans treated like criminals? As if standing is a good thing. What about beer? And how don't they allow 'Ashley style' ownership? What sanctions are in place to prevent lack of emotional/financial investment? Sounds like you're just telling fibs.

It's getting lower and lower. At last count it was about a third for us IIRC.

This is before the new TV deal took hold too IIRC.

I went to most games for over 19 years. I was treat like a criminal once, and that was in Marseille.

And that rule, by the sounds of it, would be about as difficult to get round for Mike Ashley as a fence made of sticks and sellotape.

 

Beer in the stands, for crying out loud. As if that lends itself to a significantly better matchday experience - especially coming from someone talking about the liability of alcohol to the taxpayer a few weeks backs.

Do German grounds have much bother as a result of allowing beer in the stands?

 

Dont' think so.

 

Only seems to kick off in very localised derby/rival games.

 

Germans can be trusted unlike the English though...when it comes to drink

Nah.

Yep exactly, although people here do get more tanked up in the lead up to the game and at half time as a result of having to go without for a bit, myself included.

The general footballing standard is better in the Bundesliga, even if the Premier League is traditionally a more attractive proposition and able to attract better players. The Bundesliga offers a generally better standard of football with considerably less resources, I'd say.

I hear the Germans got a bit "tanked up" a while back, though. :lol:

Absolutely, a better product all round really.

Why not support a team from there, then?

What a weird thing to say/ask. I support Newcastle since I lived there for two years. Maybe if I lived in Germany and had some match going mates I could grow a fondness for a German team.
