F.A.N calls £30 cap a starting point
Organisation points out home fans still pay absurd amount

THE Football Action Network (F.A.N) played down the Premier League’s £30 cap on away tickets yesterday, saying it is not a “victory for supporters.”

While teams and fans celebrated the news of the cap — which starts next season and lasts three years — F.A.N were critical of the decision, pointing out that it was just a start and that there is still a long way to go before clubs stopped treating supporters as consumers.

They said: “A £30 cap on away tickets in the Premier League is not a ‘victory for supporters.’ [It is] more crumbs from the top table.
