I agree that the season format needs to be renovated, but until the sport itself becomes mind-numbingly dull, I will never grow old of watching the sport I love, and even in very low-quality games I find the physicality of the game still enjoyable.

I understand that a lot of people have financial constraints, and some have other commitments that make purchasing a season ticket plain daft, but for some (like me) who don't buy into Sky (maybe I just don't believe in better) going to games is the only way to see them, and the money I don't spend on Sky I spend on a season ticket.

And on the idea of loyalty, it is important not to buy into someone's manufactured idea of loyalty, but for me it is important to remain loyal to the sport: a sport that provides me with entertainment, a decent amount of sociability and just something other than TV Boxsets on a Friday night (rock n'roll, I know). It seems logical for me to repay the game by at least attending matches. As a result, my season ticket this year feels vindicated.

For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger.

Huddersfield Gnats, I like that very very good.

I do feel cheated to be fair, £8.50 for me and my 2 kids to watch the Gnats (League Winners 2013)

I think that Huddersfield were ok to put out the team they did. They'd earned it by claiming top with a game to spare, the only problem I'd have had with it is if the Bulls were still in for a playoff spot as it wouldn't be fair to the other teams. But alas it wasn't effecting anybodies league position.

Isn't there already a "supporter" doing this shtick? The OP needs to find some original material.

Shame there aren't more of you (AKA people who pay to watch Huddersfield)
