I was looking through the web and i strolled across this blog on the observer and i thought i would share it with the rest of you.
Personally after reading this article i would love the premier league to change to this, for me watching football isn't about winning but watching a fun attacking game with your mates and not spending a fortune.
In Germany the fan is king. The Bundesliga has the lowest ticket prices and the highest average attendance of Europe's five major leagues. At Borussia Dortmund their giant stand holds 26,000 and costs little more than £10 for admission. Clubs limit the number of season tickets to ensure everyone has a chance to see the games, and the away team has the right to 10% of the available capacity. Match tickets double as free rail passes with supporters travelling in a relaxed atmosphere in which they can sing, drink beer to wash down their sausages, and are generally treated as desirables: a philosophy English fans can only dream of.
