than a Wembley cup final where the best seats in the house are given to corporate sponsors and are half empty 6+ minutes after the second half kicks off? |  | | |  |

I would say that the billions of pounds given to the top flight clubs is a bigger issue. |  | | |

I read somewhere, not that long ago, that a lot of clubs in the premier league could survive without fans and therefore gate money. That's how shoite football has become. [Post edited 24 Feb 2019 17:45]

You ask "Is there anything that sums up modern football better". I would suggest that the fast fortunes in top flight football sums it up better. Just an opinion. I am not watching the game. | | | |

How about that the 5th best team in England is playing like a non-league team against the 2nd best team? Or the sources of funding for each team? |  |

That's fine. Chelsea and United only need tourist dollars, not fans. |  |

The seats around the dugouts are usually the players tickets, well they were when I went to the league 2 play off final a few years ago. |  | | |

They are blue chip tickets for players and key sponsors. They include free food and beer. Hence why people are never in their seats. |  |

Been in the Bobby Moore club a few times
As you say free food/drinks, and it’s incredibly easy to have one more and thus be 5/10 mins late returning. Doesn’t help that you’re inside and whilst there are screens telling you when the game restarts, there is no volume and lots of background noise (which also drowns out the crowd in the stadium which you would usually hear from a normal concourse) |  |

This.
With added football used to be a game followed by simple folk,land workers if you will,maybe a few wheel tappers and foundary workers with whippets.. now sadly it’s followed by fake tanned bearded tattooed look at me merchant university bods, who are more interested in chatting about the economy than football,whilst sipping £6 bottled lager wearing trainers and clothes costing more than a two up two down in Burnley.
The End. |  | | |

I dont hink those seats, if you mean the ones behind and around the dugouts, are corporate. They are Club Wembley. |  |

Theres no doubting the quality of both teams players but how sterile has top flight football become. I rarely watch cup finals and that game bored the life out of me. I turned off after 80 mins and watched a film.
It was like watching computerised football where you can plot each pass. Give me errors, passion and the warts and all of lower league football any day. |  | | |
