Great video, I'm glad I watched it.
Although I can't really relate to it's message, given that I haven't experienced it first hand.

Great video and I agree with some of the comments oyoutube about that video. The games going to die, its starting to already with the poor attendances and the high prices or tickets. Fans need to start and Boycott the games, its the only way to get the FA to listen and the teams to reduce the prices.

Fans will never boycott though which is a shame because we have the power to make the difference but we don't realise it.

In Milan this week, their champions league game, tickets 1 euro a piece after a 1,800 attendence against Brescia in the cup.

Great video. I only started watching football 5 years ago and am lucky enough to be able to pay reasonable prices for my season ticket and stand on terraces but I so wish I could have been around for the days when everyone stood.

Coming up to Christmas people generally are complaining about the same thing: IT'S OVER COMERCIALISED.

Football in London or wherever else should not be associated with going down to the pub and watching your beloved Manchester Utd. It's about going to your local ground at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and joining in the atmosphere. Money is killing football, players get paid too much and no players have loyalty anymore, it's all about money.

Such a shame...

Although i wasn't born when it was the 'best days' of football still thought it was a great video, really hits home.
That is why i love the lower league football nowadays and follow Hartlepool and Brentford when i can, for the terraces. Can create a much better atmosphere when attempted.
It is no way the end of football as the video asks, but it is the end of football as we know it and the end of 'real' fans.

Maybe. But the loop football is in seems to be more and more aimed at corporate.

Therefore at some point clearly normal fans cannot and will not pay the inflated prices and at this point it will start to hit home. 70,000 corporates cannot fill old trafford.

yeah hopefully it will all go down with a BANG. Cubs will go bankrupt and something will have to happen to save the clubs. You can see the affect its having already with the low attendances.

I doubt Chelsea will survive once Roman gets bored of them and leaves Stamford Bridge in such huge debt

He's not allowed to apparently he's signed a deal that he will leave us with sufficient money when he leaves BUT that could be and most likely is a lot of BS

What if all his money magically dissappears back to Russia with him. He'll be able to get out of it if he wants to...
