Hughesy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I can't ever imagine my dad losing his interest in football and he's 62. I think you just have to accept, as you get older, that everything in life changes and people are more likely to look back on what they remember as being better.

colinmk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/17/high-ticket-prices-premier-league But Clarke said that there was a danger that young adults between 18 and 30 were being priced out of top-flight football and instead watching in the pub or on illegal streams online. "It's very important that we keep football accessible. The evidence indicates that the 18-30 age group, when people come out of the family tickets and have to pay in their own right, is declining," said Clarke. "There is a danger of future generations being lost. If it doesn't maintain its attraction to all sections of the community, they are selling the national game short." I do wonder if the next generation of fans to come through won't have been taken to games much due to prices and then won't bother. Can see attendances plummeting in 10-20 years. Good on Clarke, need more people in the game to be constantly bringing attention to this type of thing. It's all wrong at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The money side of the game. Admission prices are off the scale. Premier league games regularly cost £40+. Wages are too high, resulting in players choosing clubs like QPR ahead of a well supported club with a beautiful stadium like ourselves. Not bitter eh? Also this season in general. It's not just what is or isn't happening at the toon. Its things like reading coming back from the dead v WBA, then Southampton coming back from 2 down at Chelsea. Sometimes seems like a conspiracy.
