As someone on Spirit of Shankly pointed out, this is just the original concept for the Premier League being delivered. The vision was to move football up a couple of social classes, which to me means price out the less wealthy and encourage a "better" class of clientele with more disposable income.

They focused only on the vast riches the PL would bring and they were right. However that model only works long term with regeneration of new fans. It works if you are never gonna get relegated because the group of die hards whose loyalty and love for the club could not be quantified on a balance sheet, have already left and they are now doing something else with their match days.

Most of them likely realise that it's quite useful getting the time back and similar to when you break up with an ex, there is rarely any going back.

Without the diehards, who indoctrinated the next generation into being obsessed with the team, where does the next generation of fans come from?

Good luck convincing a young person to spend what little they have left after paying their rent and other increasing costs, to allocate a big chunk of what's left for an overpriced season ticket. Not happening, football is not high on the importance scale when you can watch every game on telly.

As for the "better" clientele they attracted, they will abandon ship as quickly as they arrived come any form of hard times.

What the clubs are doing right now with ticket price rises is simply ensuring that they have no loyal die hard fanbase left in 10-15 years. These changes will be forever.

No more capacity crowds for just playing in the PL, owners will be forced to try and actually win stuff. If they don't, goodbye fans. If they do, those fans will demand they do it again.

I'm from an era that did not place expectation on clubs, we just handed over our money and went to football, because that is the way it was. I'm still clinging on but with next year being my 50th watching West Ham and having been banned this season for breaching health and safety, I'm pretty sure it will be my last one.

Unless the owners who fucked my club up completely, finally get the message and fuck off back to their mansions.

The people who own clubs know the square root of fuck all about the generations of fans who helped build that club to be the thing it was before they demolished everything they inherited. They do not comprehend love or loyalty because in their world, those things are cash transactions.

Football as we knew it is on life support, but the owners won't realise until one day they look around that vast stadium and see a handful of fans watching the
latest pile of average they decided to serve up.

Today, from the red side of Merseyside, we pause our rivalry and stand with Manchester United to remember Munich and the flowers of Manchester whose lives were taken far too soon on 6 February 1958. As Liverpool supporters, we know that some things are bigger than football, and Munich is one of those moments that changed the game and the country forever. To the club and its people, we honour the courage it took to rise again from such devastation, to rebuild a team and a spirit when 23 souls, including eight of the Busby Babes, never came home. Your history is written in both glory and grief, and on days like today even your greatest rivals bow their heads in respect. To the fans, who have carried this story across generations, we see how you have turned heartbreak into remembrance, with scarves, songs and silences in Manchester, Munich and far beyond. From one passionate fanbase to another, we stand shoulder to shoulder with you today, because love for our clubs does not stop us sharing sorrow when football loses its own. To the survivors, whose lives were forever marked that snowy afternoon, your resilience gave meaning to the loss and showed the world what it means to go on when your hearts are broken. The teams that followed walked in your footsteps, carrying the weight of absence and the duty to honour those who never had the chance to finish their story. And to the families of the victims, those whose grief did not end when the headlines faded, please know that the names you loved are still spoken with reverence by people who never saw them play but still feel their legacy. From Anfield to Old Trafford and every ground in between, we remember that they were more than players and staff – they were sons, brothers, fathers, friends, and they will never walk alone in our collective memory.

Jae. #YNWA❤️⚽

@AlternativeMUFC Last week was special, I thought comms couldn’t get any better and then you deliver this beautiful bastard. Outstanding stuff!

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@AlternativeMUFC Unreal!! One of the best ones yet

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@AndyMitten I thought Ruud did a good job so I would lean towards him. I think OGS and Fletcher isn’t a bad option either. Just be good to actually look forward to watching united play and get some enjoyment.

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@redhod99 Absolute dickhead. Can’t stand him, think he’s forgotten how dog shit he was at managing but yet talks like he is some great mastermind.

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@__scottsaunders Maybe time for you to stop demanding he be given time. Absolute shit show of a year and it’s time for him to go. Been clear he’s a busted flush for a long time

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

Enough is enough. Get Amorin gone absolutely no way this guy can take us forward. He’s overseen the worst 12 months I’ve ever seen.

@ronaldobrown_98 First 25 was really good. Let’s see how the second half pans out

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@AlternativeMUFC Really good. Shame we let them back in. First 25 minutes was some of the best stuff we’ve played in a long time. Hopefully we come out second half and kill the game and we can all put the gaviscon away

@AndyMitten @WeAreTheFSA Good luck 🤞

[Rob Taylor @RTaylor6784]

@ronaldobrown_98 The Wire and the Sopranos should be top 2.
