The real football fans will enjoy seeing certain players

A bit like a cirque de soleil of football.
Would much rather have the interest of a perennial promotion/relegation battle than support an Arsenal/Spurs/West Ham though.
Access to games for all followers is much greater with TV coverage in the modern game and we still sell out, conditions in the stadium are better and it’s a much safer environment so not all bad.
