What if, right, this was what is going to happen ...

TV deals a re getting bigger, presumably becuase TV audiences are growing.

Gate revenues are falling because of low attendances at the match.

Logical conclusion: games will only be played on TV with no crowds. All the money will come from TV. Gasp, but that'll mean a s**t atmosphere. The "This is Anfield" sign will become meaningless. So clubs will have to hire in professional crowds, right.

I reckon the Kings boys could arrange a deal with City, so long as they turn up not too pissed, and Selwyn behaves hisself.
