Quote: Durham Giant "What is this fascination with fans paying money.
Clubs get their income from a lot of sources.
Sponsorship and tv is the main one.
If a club has enough turnover whether it is fans coming through the turnstiles with cash or sponsorship or tv or drunk fans buying shirts and hotdogs who cares,
If they have the money to pay the players and run the club it does not matter'"
there was a report online that most nearly half of the premier league clubs (not including the usual big 5 or 6) could survive on tv revenue money alone, even if they had no supporters bringing in cash! thats how ludicrous football has become! if only RL could negotiate a fraction of that deal!
