Absoloutely nothing new here - although probably new to some of the teams who are now competing at the top - Im a Utd fan and as you allude too its been the case for years - the clubs dont want your average fan who goes to every game goes to the pub, gets to the ground 5 minutes before ko and then goes straight after - the money comes from the day trippers who are happy to pay over the odds for a ticket, will go into the club shop before the game and buy a load of merchandise, get in the ground an hour before KO buy a programme a pie and a pint etc and then promote the experience all over social media - its not new its just the reality of the draw of the premier league
By the way cracking game yesterday two top teams going at it - Anfield is still a fortress and how I long for as manager like Klopp who can get the best out of his players loads to admire about both sides and a great advert for the game

It’s been the case at Old Trafford for years.
Day trippers eh
