Now it's been established as an acceptable way to improve the experience of watching on the telly, how long before some of the more lacklustre games are pepped up a bit by the use of fake crowd noise? Just another step along the way to making actual supporters in the stadium obsolete. |

Maybe obsolete is probably too strong a word, but insignificant maybe. So still there, but no one gives a shit about them. |

United made £110m from match day revenue in 2019, their total revenue was just over £600m. |

What's the TV income? EDIT: This shows the decreasing contribution matchday income is making to premier league clubs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...atchday%20fans. Note it's the bigger teams that stand to lose more, the same teams that would benefit most from non-collective negotiation of TV rights. Could United replace the matchday income by negotiating their own world-wide TV deals? Quote:

My argument was about the trend for bums on seats becoming less important to clubs and if fake crowd noise makes the "product" still acceptable to the TV customers then that will continue. |

“Not for the top clubs they don't” Then you literally post a link that shows it’s the top clubs that have matchday revenue as a higher percentage of their income than the smaller clubs The top clubs are all around the 20% mark. That’s a huge chunk of their income by any standards, and would be the difference between them making a profit or not. |

But then my argument was that the top clubs could more easily replace that revenue (or some of it, there's no way the stadia will be empty) with individually negotiated TV deals. It doesn't negate my basic premise which is that crowds at games are losing their importance, no matter how poorly I argued it |
