I wish our league and lower would create a propper subscription service so I can watch more games. If there is one please let me know. After 45 years of being a northern / Bulls fan I have to admit I am going off RL fast and rarely watch a SL game to the end on TV. I actually think the games in our league can be better viewing. I have decided to cancel Sky sports in December when the contract is up as I can't watch more than 5 mins of footballers diving and swearing at officials. Can anyone tell me of another sport where they go out and deliberately cheat and get away with it as it has become "normal"? I do fear now for our sport now we have another 6 months possibly without much income.

Absolutely agree with this a subscription service where you can purchase a season ticket for say 150 or all games home and away for 250 with the extra 100 shared between other championship clubs imo would be massive if other clubs got on board too!

Is it just me that's wondering where the clubs going to get the money to pay these players from. This years wages have been pretty much covered by the furlough scheme I'd imagine. There's probably even a bit of this years funding from season tickets and sponsors left over as we haven't had to pay out as much, eg stadium rent, winning bonus's, stewarding costs etc. But where's the income coming from for next year. No sign of season tickets going on sale yet and no indication of when fans could be allowed back in ground so imagine take-up will be significantly down on this years figures. Would imagine sponsorship will also be a harder sell as they aren't getting much exposure for their money.

They did say there’s some exciting commercial announcements to come over next few weeks as far as season tickets go there’s always a way around it all and so long as you can offer an alternative that’s fair to supporters I’m sure you will get uptake.
