Some people are just never happy

I never realised how many so-called football fans prefer the crowd noise to the football....

Remarkable. I wonder if the PL are aware that half their audience don’t actually watch for the football.

Fan power became virtually worthless as soon as tv money ramped up to silly levels..

You should be a little more concerned about the "Anfield massive" getting neutered, when sky proves it doesn't need that 70k crowd in the stadium to get the FSG that same cheque. Despite winning the title, your club fans could arguably stand to lose the most here. Since it's clubs like yours where the fans clout is strongest.

Pretty much. The only power left now is threat of boycott yet many fans are proving that threat means absolutely nothing.

I'm not concerned. This is temporary until there is a reputable solution to the global pandemic.

The majority of a top clubs fans dont go to matches anyway.

I didn't say I wanted to listen to crowd noise instead of watch football did I? So no I don't "Prefer the crowd noise to the football." I prefer the crowd noise WITH the football. I want both because I'm not a mug who'll lap up any scraps I'm thrown just because some rich says I should.

Hopefully for football fans everywhere, there are enough subscribing fans who feel the same way I do. Because it won't bode well for the future of fans if they don't.

May be temporary but the proof that an empty stadium don't mean a damn thing, will be permanent.

Yes and until now most of them have said crowds make watching the matches. The atmosphere is paid for as much as the football. People on the whole saying that, it why a walkout worries bosses so much. Petrified of an aired game and no fans in seats. Not any more.

So what happens to Fan Power now

Nothing. It will remain the same.

Can’t say I’m in agreement with the OP’s central point, but the viewing experience isn’t the same, and the players will tell you the football isn’t the same, with empty stadia.

I read something saying the remaining games are going to be shown for free.
