The problem then is that, when the youth are old enough to move into senior level there are fewer clubs because they pack in because they can't afford to carry on.
Meanwhile the blazers and ties at the FA think that they are doing a great job and football is going down the pan at a rate of knots and lots of fans are becoming more and more disillusioned.
SUpport your local non-league team, in the main, they will appreciate it.
