More money for Premier League clubs

[Nem]

Baron its a flat structure at the moment with the top getting £30 mill and the bottom getting £20mill (please correct me if i am wrong) so i dont think this will make a big difference.  Just a bit more extra money in eryones pocket.

I think the worrying thing is that attendances are in the most majority down and something needs to be looked into this- maybe by subsidising matches.

Last nite, although they were only replays, i noticed that Tottenham and Newcastle had only 27,000 each.  That really shocked me for these two clubs.  I think if Arsenal too had an early round replay we would be nowhere near capacity.(Actually maybe not as our first 7 FA Cup and CL matches are included in our season ticket)

Nem - was your match last nite a Category A match?  Surely it could have been subsidised a bit?

Rooky same with Newcastle - why such a low crowd?

The Premier League wont be this good forever and these clubs need to be a little careful with all the money they are getting now?  I mean Chelsea's wage bill, what a joke!  John Terry £120-150k a year!!

and West Ham supposedly paying Lucas Neill if he signs £60,000.

The world has gone mad!!

Tottenham only had 27,000 due to 3 factors

1: Crowd segregation

2: Cardiff not taking full allocation

3: It being Cardiff at home.

John Terry is on 150k per week not a year!

What do you think of The FA giving in to their favourite bitch (David Dein) over our allocation of tickets at the Library next week?

League cup rules:

1: Are you able to accomdate 15% of travelling fans if you reach the semi final? Yes, but not if it is against Tottenham Hotspur. We cannot have 9,000 fans out singing the 60,000 prawn sandwich brigade!

Nem, it is well known that we are not the most vocal fans in the country but even we sing more than your fans and lets face it its a cup final for your fans everytime you play us. Spurs fans are very very quite every game ive been to but this could be due to the fact that you normally lose.

Why is crowd attendance relevant?

Revenue based on how popular you are?

Why do people need to come to the game though? Surely you can be popular and watched on TV?

Atmosphere you mug.

[Colchester Kev]

If it wasnt for people standing in the freezing cold (as you put it) the games that you watch on TV would be dull dull dull.

Atmosphere is normally better in the pub......

I get it for proper games but not the boring games where its never going to be good. If you are a man utd fan why is it important to watch a home game vs Charlton, seems fecking pointless to me!

Playing say liverpool i could understand.

It is because you have no passion mug, you are obviously not a "club" fan, you are a sports fan. Nothing wrong with that... you just cant understand why people travel hundreds of miles cramped in the back of an escort van on a cold rainy winters evening to watch their team play.

I think a lot of it has to do with your upbringing, ask most diehard footy fans how they started and its 99% certain they will tell you how their Dad took them to a game when they were small, and the noise, colour, atmosphere of the occassion got into their bloodstream, and it will never truly leave them.
