***Official Premier League Thread round 2***

Quote:It massively effects the fanbase on a game day level.. when the teams are plummeting, few people go to the games.. much like with any sport I guess.. there are teams who try to run at stadia around 55% full.. that's not easy to do! The Premier League is very unique, Sunderland will be given £100m this year for finishing bottom. They will also receive parachute payments (£65m split over 4 years) to count towards the money they will be losing from the Premier League televised games. Each televised game in the Premier League is worth £10m, whereas each televised game in the Championship (2nd tier) is £3m... so yes, the history and bragging rights is one reason to stay in the Premier League.. but the money is the main concern.. which is why you see teams heavily invest in their squad.


 
 

 

i understand that. i guess what i mean is they dont have as many bandwagon fans. The jags, for instance, are such a young team that we are just seeing generations of season ticket holders  who have loved this team their entire lives.( 21-26 year old only people.) we have a lot of fans that are older than this but those people probably supported another team before jacksonville was awarded their franchise. most of the football teams in England have been around soo long that their fans have not only been fans thier entire lives, but the parents and grandparents probably liked the same teams awell. sort of like the Packers in the NFL. So these people may not show up at games when their team sucks, but they are embedded as far as they will remain Loyal to thier club no matter what division they are in.
