Absolutely ridiculous. Attendance not even that bad. Hope it doesn't give Sky n BT any ideas to force on their FA lackies.

  • In a way I like this approach... Would force clubs to lower ticket prices perhaps?
  • Just hope the EFL don't copy them otherwise we'll be in trouble. Never seen the East Stand looking so empty before - and that was with the 30-odd school kids that obviously only came for a day out & a bag of crisps or a bar of choccy that they were buying during the game.
  • Ha, this makes me laugh.
    21st century football
    Enjoy
  • In the NFL if the game isn't something like 90% sold out, the game cannot be shown live in the home teams local area.
  • Wow... that example from the US is an interesting one

    I can see how there are definitely advantages to this

    Full stadia are soooo much better

    If it was about trying to benefit the fan in some way it might be fine, but no doubt it's just all about public image and tv rights.

    The NFL fans forced to watch their team can be found wearing these. image

    Strange sense of humour the yanks.
  • Another reason why the likes of our ownership will eventually get their way in shutting down stands if such laws get implemented here.

    I like this idea - it prevents the fans being able to boycott the game and watch it on tele. If too many people opt for arm chair watching they will not be able to see it at all.

    Having said that this season, with the advent of iFollow, we are all able to watch live or on TV. For midweek games, especially, I can see me opting for the latter.

    SO what you're saying is you don't practice what you preach? :-)
