I firmly believe attendances are dropping

Nowt to back this up, in fact I think there are fiugres to sya its rising.

However I remain convinced that any rises are fully due to expanded stadia such as at old trafford, the Emirates etc and clubs coming up with decent size grounds.

I love to see Prem attendances as a % of seats availble (total) over the last 10 years.
Remain convinced that while tickets sales may be up, many grounds are actually emptier than they were.

TV viewing etc is largely irrelevant. Once people stop coming through the gates the game will suffer.
