I'm starting the campaign Against Against Modern Football.
High ticket prices, players wages, Sky fans, no standing at grounds, OTT police presence at games, money motivated players, commercial aspects etc...
Is that a good enough reason to be against it?
Hang on, no one is forced to pay high ticket prices.
Players' wages only reflect the market for players and the revenue that the clubs earn.
How exactly is anyone going to eradicate armchair football fans, they've always been a problem?
There is standing at grounds, just not all.
There wouldn't be an OTT Police presence at games if it hadn't been shown, over the last 40-50 years, that enough football fans like to fight each other to make it something that requires policing.
The only one that makes a bit of sense is the lack of safe standing at high-level grounds and that requires campaigning to get legislation through Parliament. The rest is bollocks.
