It kills away support.
Its just not right at all.
Friday night football is the easy way out. Larwood's brother plays all the time now, only comes to a couple of midweeks and has done that for 7 or so years. Used to be there every home game. The reason lads play and dont watch their local side is because (in my opinion) they dont think their local league football is personal to them anymore. Doesnt mean anything to them. Players who come and go in no time at all. Mercenaries playing for the money. All the laddish element of the game is being squeezed out and you have to pay twice what you did 15 years ago for the privilige sitting in seats when you'd rather stand. Squeezed out,
as well as all aggro (love it or loathe it) where the fan rivalries are really formed. One big meaningless, plastic, pointless, expensive mess.
Down the park, with your mates, for free, playing because you love the game, for the odd bit of glory. Its more of mans sport.
Having said all of that, when they talk about their games to me it is Fucking boring as fuck. Play, fine, enjoy it, but dont expect me to be interested because it aint! Im still in love with English league football myself. But I can see the real reasons so many young lads in our area play. Its only personal when the local rivals are in town or a big cup tie. Remmember those? Big side at home? I dont.
