Rules that could benefit the current pyramid system

I see these types of comments but the evidence suggests exactly the opposite.
Demand and love for the game has never been this high, the PL is proving to be an incredible success both at home and abroad.

I suppose “change” frightens some people and they wear rosey coloured spectacles regards nostalgia.

I remember the nostalgic Man Utd fans declaring football is dead and their club isn’t the same. They went and formed FC United of Manchester, since the nostalgic fans left…Man Utd have increased their season ticket waiting list to 30,000 and are now looking at building a new 90,000 stadium, which they will easily fill.

I can totally understand the thought process “If it ain’t broken then why try to fix it?”
However some of the money men believe football can grow even bigger and there’s still more money to be made.

For decades football was always the working man’s sport but it’s slowly trying to edge towards being the sport of the middle and upper classes with more luxury corporate style seats. The way it’s going the lower paid working class will be forced to watch it on TV but at present the owners are fine with that happening.

I completely agree, the trickle effect down the leagues is considerable. Football sells itself, look our average gates now compared to 1990, almost doubled for the same level. It's the same with most clubs, especially established PL ones. The London based ones like Palace, Fulham & Brentford would snap your hands off to double their capacities.

Look at York City, average gates of 2k for years now 6k. Football is a growth industry in all respects. All my kids have played Sunday league football and the system is a money spinner too.

I am nostalgic and miss the old days, however, they will never return and the game is going in the opposite direction fast.
