'It's a f*cking liberty' - Hollywood actor Ray Winstone moans 'working man' can't afford Premier League ticket prices as he calls for boycott of West Ham in scathing criticism of club's board

West Ham

West Ham sparked outrage last week when ticket pricing was released for their home fixture against Manchester City, with concessions completely removed. There is no discount for children or OAPs, meaning that the most expensive ticket across the board is £120.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">General ticket prices for our game v <a href="https://twitter.com/ManCity?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ManCity</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Winstone, who has made his name as an East End hardman in films such as Sexy Beast and Scum, has berated the club's ownership for failing to offer discounts for those who are less able to afford tickets, and has urged fellow Irons to start boycotting games.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Winstone told <a href="https://coinpoker.com" target="_blank">coinpoker.com</a>: "It’s a f**king liberty but it’s the way of the world today I’m afraid. What can you do about it? Does everyone stop going? Maybe that’s the answer – you stop going and boycott it."I think you’re just dealing with a different beast today and it falls of deaf ears. That thing of community is gone, it’s gone."I don’t think they will understand it because at the end of the day it’s a business and they’re interested in the business side of it. It's a corporation, it’s what America was built on and that’s what we’re becoming now."The actor also bemoaned the cost of football tickets across the rest of the English game, saying: "There are people today, real football fans, who can’t do it anymore. It’s hard enough to go on your own and pay for yourself. What is it now, £100 a ticket? And if you’ve got two kids, how do you do that? How do you manage to take your kids every week, week in week out? If you’re just an ordinary working man you can’t do it."

WHAT WINSTONE SAID

It remains to be seen if West Ham fans will heed Winstone's call and stay away from the City game, although it does also air on television.
