I don't know, generally if people would rather watch man u on TV they probably aren't the sort to spend money and go to see their local team anyway.

I gave a free ticket to my Arsenal supporting brother in law couple seasons back. Didnt use it as gooners were on tele.

I agree the money has to filter down though, and far more of it. Football league clubs being threatened with liquidation for less than a couple weeks of Sanchez' wages.
