Incedentally where I live now my local non league team is Chasetown who I watch every other week or so. I go down for a pint and a chat and to watch some brutal football.
But saying that Villa is my local team, in strictest terms even counting Non league. Family are Villa etc.
The problem with non league football is that you can pay somewhere between £5-10 for a ticket.
A ticket down the Villa costs £10-20 at the moment, more for a "top 4 club" as then glory hunters pop down and we sell out, thus inflated prices.
They can't compete. To put simply money isn't trickling down the way it should.
