Interesting piece.
I think it demonstrates the priority of club owners to shift from relying on the core working class fans that attend matches in England, to the global appeal of monetising the international fans that spend money on merchandise, buy Channel subscriptions and effectively spend large amounts supporting clubs from the other side of the world.
Clubs like Spurs are no longer subsidising OAPs tickets, preferring to replace them with visiting 'football tourists' that are willing to pay fees way beyond the standard ticket price for games. If they can get three times the face value of a ticket by using dynamic pricing, they will shift further and further away from the loyal, local fan that has supported the club through family commitment and historical alignment with the area. |  | | |

I used to be very against the European super league idea, but now I'd love it if all those bloated clubs left the Premier league and took all their global fans with them. Of course I know it wouldn't be like that and they'd still want to lord it over us domestically, but one can only dream. | | | |

You only have to look at social media. Posts about football are swamped with replies from accounts in places like Nigeria professing to be Chelsea, Liverpool etc fans and making very poor attempts at banter (usually just copy/pasting the same old things).
This market is the focus now, plastic overseas TV fans. Give them their super league I say, so the rest of us can go back to enjoying football. | | | |

Didn't know that about OAP prices at Spurs. Dreadful way to treat their own fans, particularly those that have attended and paid for decades.
Probably increase their prices even more after qualifying for the Champions League after finishing 17th in the Premiership. |  |

It’s more like 30 years since we’ve been on a downward spiral rather than 20. |  | | |

Also we don't play in red.
See what Tan tried to do at Cardiff - and, er, where they are now. |  |
