I think it's a transition, and not a good one
Football is Saturday 3pm, or Tues/Weds 7.45pm
We're used to that, we're used to thinking about what it's like for the razzmatazz teams that are always on tv
We're one of them now, we kick off at 15.00 on Sunday, Or 12.45 on a Saturday
It's ?20 more expensive. The relationship between the players and the fans is massively more distant than it already was
The pressure to survive is so great because of this lottery of cash which Sky pay
And we've had 3 years of success, and we're used to it
We've all just about forgotten that we were in league one. We didn't even have a difficult season in it either
That's how I feel anyway. It seems to bring on some lack of enthusiasm
I always put that down to Murdoch and his entertainment franchise, which is fed to me through football. When we're in the champs or league one, it doesn't really exist
