		<description>Wow that makes interesting reading! I&#039;m shocked to see Pompey are 4th, and would hope that that&#039;s due to the size of the ground and supply and demand.  Only holding 20 000 fans means there is obviously high demand and small supply, meaning they can charge more.  

It will be interesting to see what will happen if/when they move to their new ground and have a larger capacity.  Of course this argument loses merit when you look at Arsenal....

Thing is, all the time people will pay then they will charge and they know from waiting lists that they can afford to charge this sort of money.  It would take a massive effort from supporters clubs to boycott games and try and drive costs down - probably will never happen unfortunately and the club owners will continue to bite the hand that feeds them.</description>
