DavidM Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Be good but i can just never us see us winning anything . We’re a quarter final side or semi if we do really well then we find a way of bombing out or are just not good enough and technically deficient against who we come up against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, whilst I think he really could interrogate this a lot more, he's doing a decent job of covering some of the issues and, unlike some, not flinching from just how many clubs are in very serious trouble.

I have a few issues with it. In that I don't think he really grasps where a lot of the issues come from, or he ignores them if they don't suit his simple narrative. Bury, for example, didn't go bust because of TV money in the Premier League or chasing promotion, they, like many others, went bust because their owner was out of his depth and, broadly, attempting an asset strip. He also ignores the thirty-odd years of decline that happened from the high point attendances he quotes which had very little to do with his main themes. Obviously, I do agree that the pursuit of riches has, for many, become corrupting and there are huge systemic issues with the game, particularly once you go to League 1/2 and below. But, again, part of that is that you have FAs and league committees who seem absolutely hell bent on missing the point time and again. Lastly, I'd argue that, in spite of all that, this isn't really a bad time to be a football supporter. There is more awareness of non league football than at any point I can remember - probably since the days of the FA Amateur Cup final being a big deal. Women's football is growing and offers more opportunities for support/participation/engagement. Sunday leagues may be declining but recreation six-a-sides (etc) are doing well. That's not me being rose-tinted because there are issues but, y'know, it's not all gloomy. 2 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Griffin Park was a really nice ground, a bit empty for Broncos games, their new ground looks fine for Premiership football, transport links a good, loads of food outlets & a decent hospital all close by.
