Vital 1st Team Regular
I can't see how it can continue as an attraction for the majority of supporters. Back in the day teams dominated for a while and then faded for a while but it was possible for anybody to challenge more or less. At the start of every season you had that optimism that this was the one where your team would compete. 75% of supporters no longer have that. How can you get excited about going to a game when you are among the also rans? Support will diminish for that bunch of clubs as the younger supporters drift towards the top 6 or so clubs.
I was at a family birthday on Saturday. Nobody there supported a local side, it was depressing!
