Big Vince 318 Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Given that Delia and the board and the fans like to project themselves as whiter than white, I expect that the forthcoming fixture against Newcastle will be like a Toon home game as they will be the only fans in the stadium.

Attleborough_Canary 65 Posted March 31, 2022 Oh go on then, I'll bite. In what way would that prove a higher morality? Our home gate receipts don't go in to their pockets and we wouldn't be turning up to cheer Newcastle on. Looking forward to being educated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TV subs distort sporting competition both in the prem and champs. But I guess they do give a better version of VAR... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazprom with Chelsea. While I agree with you, the bigger clubs do better with or because of TV money, if you stay in the league you get the same basic money. And the big clubs always bought the better players without TV money. Look how many we sold once we were competing well in the top flight. And I guess that is where many see the problem. We aren't staying in the top league to increase our revenue, to buy better players to ensure we stay in the top division. I don't see it as SKY, BT, Amazon's fault that the money has become the God of football. It is the owners and the EPL. Alan Sugar said it from the start. The money will end up with the players. And the big clubs have always had the best players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the big clubs have always had the best players. See the thing is, I don't benefit from any of this charade of a sport. I don't care if we're in the PL. In fact my experience at matches gets worse every year we are up there. The trade off of football for TV is that it spoils football for supporters in the ground. I accept that some who go to games see it differently but I don't see any advantage to me for our club being in the PL or being owned by a state or whatever. I'm not interested in the reflected glory of other people's money or fawning over the TV superstar players of the top clubs. I just go to support my team. I love it when we win and am disappointed when we lose. As a supporter in the stadium I believe I can help achieve a result. Now I accept that the richest owner is more help so if a club is state owned us legacy supporters don't really have any value in comparison. I like the fact that my season ticket comes with a fixture list. But then it becomes useless well before the season starts as so many games are moved for the armchair brigade. VAR obviously improves the armchair experience but spoils the supporter experience to an unacceptable degree The cameraman stands in front of me to give the armchair brigade my view when they need it. So I guess I'm part of a dying breed. Soon everyone will be a spectator fawning over the TV made superstars and seeing them in the flesh will be the only reason to go. I'll keep going though. Eventually they might even feature me on Sky TV as a crazy old legacy fan who still believes support matters more than other people's money. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
