And that's fair enough, each to their own. I'm just suggesting that match going has never been at a greater level despite ever increasing costs which means plenty do still enjoy the product despite its obvious issues. If the product was that stifled I'd expect stadiums to be half empty.

My biggest gripe with the game at the top level is just the closed shop nature of it at the top end more than the level of quality on show. I still enjoy match days and the majority of games. If I didn't i'd be long finished with it.
