That's surprising
Maybe the football tourists are only drawn to the big clubs and popping out to watch your local football team has been priced out.
You also have on-line sites selling tickets to the big clubs a weekend breaks etc etc.
You are spot on re-Wigan...rugby, cricket, cheese rolling... all these northern sports take the money first. that will stay the same.
I don't mind the fans from all over the world turning up paying £50 for the ticket, £35 for the shirt, £3.50 for the programme.
It's all money into the Arsenal pot to go the board and pay for the stadium!
If Wenger can keep the current crop together for the next 2/3 years and bring in a world class keeper and fit/injury free goal scorerer we will nail it.
We had a great run this season but when put against physical quick sides we fall apart.
We take to long pushing forward - Cesc hasn't got a hit man to pick out
We can't score from set pieces - we have no physical presence
There isn't a tackle in the team - we are scared!
Both Utd and Chelsea didn't break sweat - they let us pass it around 30/40 yards out with a bank of 8 players squeezing the space. if we start to find space they fly in with a hard tackles. then punt it long
Watching both games Utd are a level above Chelsea - bar two disgusting pieces of defending by Clichy (our best performer season after season!) Chelsea didn't do a great deal bar clear their lines
