So we will have a nice new stadium to play in a second rate league - what's the point? I for one will probably stop watching football altogether. it's a pathetic idea driven by greed and money.

If your talking about the new Euro league mentioned today, it is to soon to worry about, probably never happen.

What is the main draw for fans who will watch the euro league? To see the best teams play each other? That already happens.
The league, if it happens will soon become stale. No relegation, no top 4 or 6 to play for. The same 2 or 3 teams winning it every season.
Unless I'm missing something, they are going to have something more than a 16 team elite 1 league system to keep people interested.

It will happen Mr clouds.

It probably will happen Skylark. By then the Television brigade of supporters will outnumber the ones who actually watch football live by a huge proportion. But there are still those who watch their home clubs and enjoy the live football. When I moved to South Gloucestershire I started watching Forest Green Rovers and eventually got involved with coaching their youth set ups. I still went up to Goodison and still do. Many watch their teams of huge clubs in the Championship. Leeds, Notts Forest, West Brom, Middlesborough, Villa and many more have been regular top flight clubs for many years and have support that reflects this. Just because the money men turn football into Disney does not mean we should all stop enjoying where it all started out!

The Euro League is just about widening the gap between the top teams and the rest in each league. They’ve been trying to make it a closed group for years and will take a lot of the TV money out of the respective leagues when it’s set up. One point though, will the players all have to get visas for every away game after Brexit?
{Ed002's Note - The Visa situation will remain as it is now regarding travelling for football.}
