    Who needs an attendance at all? Football continues to eat itself...

    Looking up from where we are this seems to demonstrate all that's gone wrong with the game since the Premier League arrived and TV rights became everything. Quite an in depth article and well worth a look methinks...

    I have glanced at this article and it begs the question,why don't they reduce the cost of a match day ticket for home fans.
    They say they make a profit already without them (fans) , but need the fans for the atmosphere so kill two birds with one stone !!!...

    Football without fans is like toad-in-the-hole without the bangers. It won't be long before they do away with the ball entirely, and then the foot...

    Not sure alternative revenue streams are the worst aspect of today's game though. To me it's clubs as brands rather than local eruptions, and the tedious inevitability of the richest winning everything.

    Come the glorious day, capitalism will eat itself and iFollow will be flawless and free.
