"Supporters'
groups have warned the Premier League there is a danger of "future
generations being lost" to the game after a Guardian survey revealed its
cheapest tickets were the most expensive of the four major leagues in Europe
and more than double those in Germany or Italy.

"[The Bundesliga]... offers a model that in many ways is more successful than our own. And it is not
a coincidence that most of their clubs are owned by their members... It's
very important that we keep football accessible. The evidence indicates that
the 18-30 age group, when people come out of the family tickets and have to pay
in their own right, is declining," said [FSF chairman] Clarke.

"There is no
doubt that away support is declining. It may be that the trend with away
support will spread to home support soon. In this case, the match going fan is
an essential part of the TV product. With the massive increase in media income
they should be able to bring prices down," added Clarke."
