Premier League Tickets: Game Facts
The event is sponsored by the Barclays Bank. Therefore, the Game is officially referred to as the Barclays Premier League. Most of the sports events take place on Saturdays and Sundays, with very few games happening during the weekdays.
Before securing tickets, it is a good idea to know a little about the game. The League came into being after a marked downfall of English football in the late 1980s. English football clubs were banned from European matches for five years starting from 1985. The Football League Division I, which had been the leading English football league since 1888, fell behind Serie A (Italy) and La Liga (Spain) in terms of attendance and revenues and many top players moved abroad.
A change came about in the FIFA World Cup of 1990 when the league reached the semi-finals. The year 1991 saw Manchester United winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Incidentally, the Taylor Report on safety standards in the stadium was published in the month of January in the very same year. The signs of a breakaway league became visible in 1988 when 10 clubs threatened to form a separate 'super league'. As stadia improved, match attendance and revenues increased, the top teams expressed their desire to leave the Football League to capitalize on the rising money influx in sports.
The agreement for establishing FA Premier League was signed on July 17, 1991. This new division had commercial independence from the Football League and the Association. The FA Premiere League comprised 22 inaugural members. The league altered its name and started calling itself simply Premier League from 2007.
