Nothing would happen to attendances, with all PL/FL games being televised.

ALL football fans would get to the games whatever the weather, l used to travel miles to watch Spurs play home and away, l even travelled to Hearts in Scotland for a friendly, and to Crewe when they played them in the Cup, ITS for the fans who cannot get to the games ie cost of travel or work commitments.

When l was a kid, the only game on Tv was The Big Match on a Sunday or MOTD but these were all recorded games.

Now we pay a hefty price for Live games, and all PL games are on Football First, so why can't they show the games live, Football on tv won't effect attendances whatsoever.

Prime example, my two sons paid paid nearly £200.00 to see Spurs play in a cup tie, knowing full well it was Live on Tv, it is the atmosphere thats important.
