This, sadly

It's not done for actual fans, but for people who watch football as an entertainment product, and the economics will back that stance up.

It's bloody frustrating. I will always go if I can and pay for a stream if I can't go. If I can't pay for a stream though I will certainly watch an illegal one and not feel bad about it. I take every opportunity I have to give the club money for watching the games. In the complete absence of a legitimate product, though, what's a person to do?
