The Informant The football is dull as dishwater

genomeGunny Fishcake I think there will be always be the die hards like us who will go week in week out whatever , but after being a season ticket holder for over thirty years , though I'm not thinking of leaving, I 'cant ever remember being so disillusioned and "out of love" with football
I believe the average person is simply fed up with the gotesque obscene wages being played these so called professional footballers.
When a really average crap fringe player is getting paid say £10,000 a week and driving his Aston Martin or pimped up Range Rover you just despair.
The game is full of obscene greed, corruption , cheating and gives nothing back to the loyal fans .
I've loved football all my life but just look at Wales v England last week in the 6 Nations if you want to see real sport played by men who don't cheat , played until they cant walk though battered and bloodied and then clap the opposition off win or lose .
Football has lost and sold its soul, that's why IMHO the attendances are dropping.
I'm considering choosing a non-league side actually and following them as well as Reading - just to get a flavour of proper down to earth football with none of the circus you get with the big leagues. It might be fun. I don't think the football would be that awful either - some decent players down there.

Danny Williams All of the top-six teams I have played against, if you look at Brighton, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield, they all have full stadiums

multisync1830 As was said to me, why go to all the expense of have safe standing if we can't fill the ground as it is.. RFC have a serious issue if there is no club within 50 miles and a large demographic local and can't ye get more than 12k (discounting away fans) in one place at the same time .
Perhaps it's a 10k club punching above it's weight?

Except there are lots of clubs a lot closer than 50 miles !
And even allowing for away fans we rarely get just 12k...

I mean big clubs ManU Liverpool etc. Small teams rely on local support . Basingstoke, Reading and Newbury should be enough
