It certainly feels like it is heavily shifting away from the traditional fanbase. I think the powers that be have realised that they can squeeze more out of this cash cow by marketing it to a more indifferent audience.End of the day, the odds arent stacked in the favour of spurs fans that want to know what it feels like to win.
Its somewhere between an outside chance and pipe dream at this point.
This is a bitter pill, and if a fan could think objectively they would try to follow a second team to offset the frequent disappointments delivered.
Unfortunately us fans can't do that effectively (myself included) and the owners can rely on this.
They know the fans will keep coming back like a moth to the flame and for the minority who don't, a middle class care free fan will take their premium season ticket.
This isn't what football used to be, and makes me ask questions as to the point of it all beyond watching a kick about on a Saturday.
It's why the ESL will probably happen, with occasional fixtures all around the world. FIFA, UEFA, the FA...none of them care about the actual fans. They just care about ticket sales and broadcast viewing figures.
At this point I'm considering getting a Bristol Rovers season ticket just to witness something resembling the sport I fell in love with.
