And finally…yet more goalkeeper misery

Earlier this week the government announced that clubs at Steps 3 to 6 of non-league would benefit from up to £10 million in grant funding to support them through the shutdown imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research released by the Premier League today claims that the average ticket price in the competition is £31 with the majority of supporters paying less than £30.

The FA agreed a reduction in ticket prices for 3,000 tickets at this year’s FA Cup final following lobbying efforts by supporter representatives – but many fans remain unhappy with this season’s pricing.

Police forces across England and Wales seeking to secure more funding from football are putting smaller clubs under serious financial pressure, according to the North Wales Police & Crime Commissioner.
