yebbut, who cares? If they earn more from it, full power to them

Ask any of the players though and they'd rather be running out into a full stadium, than one with thousands of empty seats most weeks.

Plu,s with getting the kids in you've got a better chance of catching them for life, and catching them properly, not just because you've had a little success.
