When will fans earn respect?

[alan ball]

With this latest fixture change re Arsenal going from Saturday to Sunday then back again, the fans have been inconvenienced yet again. In fact, too much over the years, which now continues to deteriorate further. What is the point of having a fans advisory board and the organisation called the FSA (football supporters association)? They are absolutely powerless. Fans this day and age are no longer a necessity because money is the priority. The clubs we pay our money to couldn’t give Jack [Poor language removed] about us. We are taken for granted and no longer important.

The football establishment has nothing but contempt for the traditional working class fan base of all clubs.

If they can pocket millions by showing games that are convenient for folks in Malaysia, we can all get stuffed.

The money is in the TV schedule now. Match going fans will be an after thought as long as that's the case

1 like = 1 respect

Bit late to say anything about it now.
Been that way for the last 30 years.

('bout as close as you'll get...)

The clubs,including ours agreed to this....definitely the greed in agreed.

 

[NeilMorepies]

We are there to provide a bit of atmosphere for the TV, and we even pay through the nose for the privilege.

Respect doesn’t come into it.

So true mate. You are spot on.
However it has come to Evetton overnight.
Sometimes i truly wish the wasters Moshiri spent his hard earned on came good and repaid him with performances.
Would feel better under his ownership than this crew.

 

[Daytripper]

What is the incentive? They all get paid anyway and they know thousands turn up every game regardless.

I wonder how many match going fans shoot themselves in the foot by also handing out cash to tv companies to watch and sponsor competing clubs. Lots i suspect.

They could all start helping themselves and the rest of us who have seen our sport utterly ruined, by ditching tv subscriptions.

 

[blue to the bone]

When clubs stop taking hundreds of millions for tv rights .

It’s got worse than when it started 30 years ago. You’re missing the point. Fans book travel/hotels in advance and clubs/tv can do this ? It’s not acceptable.

 

[Walter Ego]

Fans could show the power they have by boycotting games. One game by each club with no fans in the ground would be a massive wake up call to the powers that be. If every club did on the same weekend changes would surely be made. The chances of this happening right now are pretty much zero.

Never. They don’t care about us
