MANCHESTER City's pampered players were given a stark reminder of the lengths supporters go to follow the team when they were advised by a match official to thank fans for spending 62 pounds (US$100) to watch the Premier League win at Arsenal.
As on-pitch cameras rolled, linesman John Brooks told England defender Joleon Lescott "they've paid 62 quid over there, go and see them." City players were shaking hands with officials amid celebrations after a 2-0 victory on Sunday.
The increasing cost of ticket prices in the Premier League had been a major talking before the match, with City reported to have returned 900 of the club's 3,000 allocation in protest.
Arsenal charges as much as 126 pounds (US$203) for a ticket to its home matches.
