The division is very well supported and is relativley cheap to watch in comparision the Premier League:-

Its also worth noting that a train ticket costs around £15 for a distance equivalent to Cardiff to Barnsley.

There is SAFE STANDING at many grounds.

Good post mate

I know lads from several different clubs who regularly travel to watch various games in Germany. A far better matchday experience and with the safe standing and great pricing schemes they're showing the EPL a clean pair of adidas

Other leagues must take note. Safe Standing is a must in the next few years.

Been to watch schalke 04 a couple of times (when the city are not playing) and is just as cheap as getting to the north east for example 15 euros a ticket, £50 flight to Dortmund, £14 rail ticket return down to gelsenkirshen and the atmosphere is something else.

At times its cheaper to go to Germany than it is to go to a Cardiff game up north.

Ridiculous this country at times. I have been twice to Germany and want to move their to get a Dortmund ST.

Will obviously still support City but when I pay I want a good day out, not to be whinged at by the old idiot behind for standing up when we almost scored. Sorry for being excited, i'll be miserable for the rest of my life.
