Hands up if you’ve had your council tax bill for the next year and it’s going up! 🙌🏼

Mine wasn’t frozen, it’s gone up.

Labour lied to get into power.

“Labour would freeze your council tax”

“Not a penny more on your council tax”

“No ifs, no buts”

Lies, lies, and more lies.

11 WINS IN A ROWWWWWWWWWWW 🤯

[Chris Cooper @ChrisJCooper92]

So I’ve now gone from $4100 for one game to $480 for the whole thing. So I most likely gain, but it’s still an absolute disgrace that these jumps are so big to people who are just as deserving. A $4k hike for a final ticket if you dared miss one game in the last 4 years..🙄

This has sent my head to Mars!

I’m on 60 caps missing the Albania away game for family reasons. The first England game I’ve missed since the 3rd/4th place play off in the 2018 World Cup (That we could attend).

I’ve applied for the group games,L32, L16 and final tickets.

Football Supporters' Association statement on World Cup prices:

The prices set for the 2026 World Cup are scandalous, a step too far for many supporters who passionately and loyally follow their national sides at home and abroad.

Everything we feared about the direction in which FIFA wants to take the game was confirmed - Gianni Infantino only sees supporter loyalty as something to be exploited for profit.

Prices for England's matches have been set as some of the highest, priced at $7020 if you want to follow the team from start through to the final.

If you are "lucky" enough to reserve the cheapest ticket for the final you'll need to hand over $4185, approximately £3200 - that's £35 per minute of the game.

FIFA call this the “Supporter Value” category - that's a laughable insult to your average fan.

Supporters are expected to hand over all of this money in February to FIFA, who will keep it in their bank account to accrue interest. If England are knocked out before the final they'll then return it, minus an admin fee of course. They are beyond shameless.

This is a tournament that is supposed to be celebrated by the world, where fans of all nations come together for the love of football. FIFA have decided to make it all about the money and the elite who can afford it.

For FIFA, loyalty is not the hard-working fan travelling thousands of miles in support of their team at qualifiers around the continent. A game that should be for all is now only for those who can afford it.

ACTION NEEDED

We back Football Supporters Europe in calling for a halt in ticket sales and we are calling on the Football Association to work with fellow FAs to directly challenge these disgraceful prices.

We call on all national associations to stand up for your supporters, without whom there would be no professional game.

The most loyal fans feel they have been stabbed in the back. Those same fans, their passion, their colours, their noise will be missing in America, Mexico and Canada, unless significant price reductions are introduced.

Supporters who have looked forward to this tournament for years, supporters who have been to multiple World Cups, supporters who were excited about this being their first tournament will all be missing as it will be unaffordable.

Who needs to follow England away for disappointment when FIFA can deliver that six months before a ball is kicked? The life has been sucked out of this tournament before it starts.

Fair play to the Serbian police. Handled the last 3 days perfectly. Left England fans alone all week, then yesterday the organisation was spot on from the escort to the game to the lock in after and escort back. Just kept their distance, but were there.

Makes a nice change 👏🏼

£77 for an adult in The Holte End on Saturday - The Football Supporters' Association called it madness.

Ticket costs may be a result of football's perennial desire to grow revenue, but it doesn’t have to be, nor should or want to be, like this. #AVFC

Aston Villa Football Club is saddened to learn that world-renowned rockstar and Villan, Ozzy Osbourne has passed away.

Growing up in Aston, not far from Villa Park, Ozzy always held a special connection to the club and the community he came from.

The thoughts of everyone at Aston Villa are with his wife Sharon, his family, friends, and countless fans at this extremely difficult time.

Rest in peace, Ozzy.
