The findings included:
One in five fans (19.6%) think football is better value for money than other sports; 44% think it offers the same value and 35.8% think it offers worse value.
Seven out of ten fans (70.2%) only watch Premier League football
Three quarters of fans (73.9%) believe that TV coverage of football has improved since the introduction of Sky TV – 18.4% think it is worse.
67.6% of fans would be interested in subscribing to a TV channel for their club’s away matches – 23.8% are not; 57% of non-Sky subscribers would be interested.
