Is Sky having that much effect, & fans preferring to stay at home?
There's a poster on here who uses every opportunity to have a go at Tony Stewart for not spending more money, but consider this : everyone who lives locally and chooses to pay for Sky Sports is helping to keep paying the likes of Stoke City's wages via parachute payments. The vast majority of TV money goes to the big boys in the premier league including those relegated, and helps to keep the big clubs afloat.
Please don't criticise TS if you don't turn up yourself and would rather fund the status quo.
