I don't believe that to be the case, it might take time but they will give a shit about player welfare more than ticket prices.Unfortunately I suspect the authorities give as much of a shit about player welfare as they do about reducing ticket prices. As long as the money keeps flowing in they won’t care.
If PFA decide not to allow their players to play, it'll force clubs and FA's to change.
We've seen it with the concussion substitution. It's a slow process but I think it'll get there.
