"...the Tunnel Club will provide one of the elite premium experiences the club has unveiled, with one-way glass panels lining the tunnel. The players will not in return be able to gaze at the lucky 104 supporters enjoying their fine dining in this area... It includes the kind of attention to detail that offers a cheese room for clients to select their own specially sourced half-time cheeses..."
Obviously peg sellers like us can only dream of having a Cheese Room but our top clubs are sure to jump on the bandwagon.
Any suggestions of what the Rangers version of the Tunnel Club might be like?

During the construction of the Ibrox tunnel room, the one way glass was fitted the wrong way round which led to the following conversation between Halliday and McKay:

Looks like ordinary fans will be priced out of this corporate stadium

£30,000 for a pair of Season Tickets 😳. Mental but they will sell them no bother in London. 17000 seater single tier stand behind the goal sounds good. I'd imagine prices will be on a par with Arsenal at £900 a seat.
As for Hertz, let their fans stick to eating the cheese between their toes."Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' - Paulo Freire

look at the backlash in Liverpool when they tried to raise prices for the new stand at Anfield and the unrest amongst the English football public at prices is only going to get worse when the new TV deal kicks in ....... So long as the big bucks from TV continue to roll in football club owners can treat the income from fans as an afterthought in the grand financial scheme of things.
In Germany the demand for tickets allied to big TV money means offering fans reasonably priced tickets, in England it appears to mean that you can squeeze the fans for every penny possible because anybody who stops going because they cant afford it can be replaced by somebody on the season ticket waiting list, walk ups or football tourists from Japan, China and Thailand.
It will be very interesting to see what happens if SKY and BT ever come to the conclusion that making their own successful drama programmes like Netflix and HBO do is far more profitable than throwing money at football and the middle classes enthusiasm for football begins to wane. What if the Chinese and far eastern audiences who lap up the EPL decide to turn their attention to domestic football, especially if China goes the way its heading and that will be the league where you can watch the future Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney or Aguero.
