I share Nick D's despondency about how football in this country continues to evolve. The genesis for what we have now was Sky Sports, their money and their influence. I much preferred it in the Division One to Division Four days, when games kicked off at 3.00 pm or 7.45 pm. Now instead of looking forward to players joining and progressing, many think about what profit we can sell them for. What is the point? Then there is the guestbook idiot (who thankfully has crawled back under his rock for the last few weeks) who talks about nothing else but money and would happily price people out of being able to afford to attend. Why? What is the point? If supporters cannot afford to attend then it is just 22 blokes (sorry, people) on a pitch in front of a privileged few who see it as like going to the cinema or the opera, i.e. no emotionally attachment. Chasing dreams has resulted in salaries for transient, mediocre, players spiraling out of control. What do some clubs do? Pay more. It can't go on but I've been hearing this for 50 years and it just gets worse year after year.
