Football Conference Play Off Final and Pure Greed

On 21 May the City of Manchester Stadium (aka The Bertiedome, Wastelands or Middle Eastlands) hosts the Football Conference play off final. We don't know who is in it yet but it is looking likely to be AFC Wimbledon v Luton Town.

Yet again the footballing authorities show their complete disregard for the paying customer by expecting the fans of two clubs to travel 200 miles there and back to watch a 90 minute game of football.  What would be wrong with having a ground in the south on standby for such an occasion?

I was going to watch the game as I am unlikey to ever go and watch Manchester City, indeed any other club there as long as Manchester City are in the Premier League because I won't line the pockets of the greedy sods who play football at that level, or the rest of the people involved in lining their pockets at our expense. But like thousands of others I won't now be going having found out the price:

Level 1 Tickets (nearest the Pitch)
Adults : £36 + £3.50 (Booking Fee) + £ 5.25 (Special Delivery) or £2.25 (First Class)
Children £18 + £1.50 (Booking Fee) + See above
NO SENIORS
Level 2 Tickets
Adults £41 + £3.50 (Booking Fee) + £ 5.25 (Special Delivery) or £2.25 (First Class)
NO CONCESSIONS

And if you pay those prices then you obviously have more money than sense. In fact if you pay those prices you're as big a danger to the future of football as Glazer, Abramovitch and all the other greedy parasites.

If you have any sense, or principle, take a stand and BOYCOTT!!
