Joking aside, I honestly don't think I'd enjoy it any more. I can't imagine loving football any more other than moments such as Charlton away in the playoffs, Macca scoring at Northampton, dumping Stoker after a rollercoaster ride and seeing us promoted at Gillingham and lift the league 2 title.
I couldn't take supporting one of the big clubs. What fun is there if your whole season revolves solely around how many trophies you win and how often. Supporting a club like Swindon you don't know what the fuck is going to happen next. You could get relegated or win the league. You could go out of business or find a rich benefactor. You never know when your manager will quit or who will be next.
But I still think the whole pricing argument is stupid. If you don't want to pay the money, don't go. No one has a divine right to watch a football match, even if they have been going for the last 40 years through thick and thin. Also still not convinced the PL is that expensive, how much would you pay to watch the top pop stars in concert? or for a world class meal? or to watch the ballet?
Sure it used to be a working man thing and you could get in to a game and get a bag of chips on the way home for 10p, but times have changed. Besides most of those complaining are hypocrites, they want their club to have the best players and to be successful, they buy the replica shirts, they get the Sky Sports subscription and then complain when they figure out the behaviour they've been encouraging for years is costing them too much money.
