There is a concern that spending to much money in football will destroy it. These days we are witnessing of high player transfers like 100,000,000 spending for some just above average players. On the other hand people who watch football are not so rich and pay tickets for games from their hard earned money. Ordinary supporter often can not earn weekly footballer wage for 5 years of hard work! This gap is more and more wide and sometimes even lead to unrest of supporters and destroying football as game.
Last example of this is what is happening in Football Club Napoli. City of Napoli in southern Italy is famous for passionate supporters of local football club. Even back in time once when this club was in Serie B stadium was always full of supporters. 80,000 of them were on terraces on every game. Stadium has been world wide known for hell like atmosphere which always made away players difficult to play. Something like that I saw only in Scotland with Celtic and Rangers and in Naples! No matter how small club is visiting there is no free seat on stadium.
But, it is also well known that people from southern Italy are not so rich as those who live in north part of country. Napoli fans are not so wealthy like Juventus, Milan or Inter fans. However Napoli club director made incredible increase of price for tickets. For next game vs Fiorentina tickets will be between 35 and 80 Euro which is 100% more than last year when they costed between 12 and 40 Euro. That will cause riot and unrest in city and supporters already announce they will boycott the club!
Don't do that with football please!
