The Premier League and several English football teams from other categories ask for up to 700 pounds (829 euros) for children to get out of the players' hands before the games, a matter that is generated by critics and fans by discriminating against Lower income families.

The “pets”, the name that these children receive in the English league, represent a benefit for English clubs of around 500,000 pounds (592,000 euros) per season, according to an investigation by “The Daily Telegraph”.

Teams such as West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Norwich and Aston Villa charge up to 500 pounds (592 euros) per game, a figure that increases for the most important events, in the case of West Ham, to exceed 800 euros for category matches TO.

The new president of the parliamentary commission of Sports, Culture and Media, Julian KnightI said that being a “pet” is becoming a privilege for the more affluent families, something that goes “completely against” the “working class roots” of football.

The conservative deputy claims the teams that will reduce the rates for the most disadvantaged families in the two upper categories.

For his part, the president of the British Amateur Association, Malcoln Clarke, showed his surprise at the fact that the prices for “pets” are often higher than that of youth fertilizers for the entire season.

“While many clubs donate fees to their charitable organizations, it seems a bit ironic that these charities often take care of working in local, disadvantaged communities, the same communities to which” pet fees “exclude,” he said.

In women's football, however, most places for these children are offered free of charge.

Arsenal members automatically enter a raffle, while Tottenham Hotspur fans can request it through an electronic form.
