00:00It's all my fault, so charge me more.

00:04Right, well, first of all, we can see the banner up there, we can see what you've made.

00:07What do you make of this?

00:08Well, at the end of the day, he's been a lifelong Manchester United supporter

00:11and without question, overnight, to increase the price of his ticket

00:15and offer no concession to him is absolutely appalling.

00:18For me to bring him to a match now, the price is just absolutely out of our range.

00:22So, from now on, he's not going to be able to go to matches.

00:25So, we've paid for a membership for him in good faith at the beginning of the season

00:29to be able to attend matches.

00:31And now, halfway through the season, he's no longer going to be able to go.

00:33So, I think it's absolutely appalling.

00:35William, how do you feel about not being able to come to games now?

00:38I think it's just not fair because all the people who actually want to go to the matches now can't

00:48because of the prices.

00:50No one can afford them, so then no one's going to be going to the matches.

00:54What do you think the knock-on effect of this is going to be?

00:57Young fans, parents, they're just going to be priced out of this?

01:00Well, yeah, if you just look at him, for example, what's his choice?

01:02He's not done anything wrong.

01:04Years of mismanagement on and off the pitch, lacklustre performances,

01:08and he's got to pay the price.

01:10So, I think the banner says it all, really.
