I think Salty posted that link earlier on as well. It's getting almost to the stage where the corporate men and big clubs want smaller football clubs to bite the dust en masse sooner rather than later. The top clubs will hope to try to gain support from the future generations of fans who would have otherwise supported the Bournemouths, Lincolns and Lutons of this world - and eventually it will happen because there are no local football clubs left for them to follow!!!! It will become the nightmare of all real football fans - a tv sport catering for the masses with very few teams. Games will be split into quarters, with time-outs.......................
by the time all of this happens hopefully I'll be dead. If not, I will definitely take up Morris Dancing.

That would be something for which I'd defy the doctors and live until I was 125 years old... :sweeeet:

I am a Hartlepool United supporter. Should the day come when Pools cease to exist I would cease to be a football supporter.

No Pools...what would be the point? ..... mind you, you could watch Tees Valley Utd play at the Riverside and sing...' Come on Borers, Come on Borers...ad infinitum'....surely not? :roll:

It doesn't look like the fans of the teams are happy!!!! confised

You can see what's gonna' happen in about 10 years time....the fans will stop going to the games in this country and the likes of the big 4 will relocate to the Far East!!!! :shock:

And we all thought Wimbledon going to Milton Keynes was bad!!!! confised

But I don't give a feck anyway!!!! :grin:
