So true. Any kid who has sky can sit in the house all weekend and can often watch three to five live games, at least two of them being premier league games. Why would they go out in the cold and rain and part with most of their pocket money to watch Macclesfield? The answer is they won't. The majority will support a premier league team and they can be in Manchester in around 20 minutes on the train. Before the total saturation of live tv games kids would have gone with their mates to a local game. The parents would have allowed it as it was close to home, it would have been cheap and a fun day out. Today it just isn't an attractive proposition
