In general, or do you wander about with your head up your arse?
Football is as popular as ever
Forgot to mention, in England, world wide it's becoming more popular,Football is as popular as ever
Its still massively popular in England.
That may be the case, but It reminds me of the late 70's when it started to wain, the only difference back then was people were still interested in the national team and cup comps, doesn't seem the case now and I talk to more and more people that aren't bothered about watching it, could be though, that if you took a vote between footy fans they'd say the opposite, but sometimes it's hard so see when you're on the inside. for me, I don't care, it's just an observation.
Peoples priorities have definitely changed. Nee arguments on that old bean
Well I wasn't arguing mate, just voicing an opinion really, @SAFCOldie came up with a canny point, that's maybe the future? I think English football will become less significant has the years roll by, the Premier seems hell bent in following the Italian model of the 90's, that became so boring no fucker wanted to watch it, the cut and thrust of English football, that foreigners liked to watch, seems to be eroding with all these teams that go out to not lose, rather than going out to win and we don't seem to producing the same quality or amount of players we used too, sad really.
If the continuing trend of fans getting sick of the hideous money in the Premier league I hope that benefits teams further down the pyramid.
Can't see it like, though it's a rosy thought, there's always going to be people that feel standing in derelict concrete stadiums watching poor quality football, romantic, I can't see it catching on with the masses though, mind!! could be what's need if we want the game returned to the working man.
I reckon we'd be worse off than Man Utd, significantly worse off. They owe more than us, but have five or six times the t/o and a load more saleable assets, whereas, we'd be fucked on a most fundamental level.
