Spike Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Most teams earn less than 1.5% of their total income from matchday. Unless they run at full budget most teams have no commercial issue with no fans in seats. For instance, Leicester's is a mind blowing 0.2%. No fans hurts lower teams more than the elite. https://www.forbes.com/teams/leicester-city/?sh=60d439a710fc https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2022/05/26/the-worlds-most-valuable-soccer-teams-2022-real-madrid-worth-51-billion-back-on-top/?sh=2ef4f92c286b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I was referring to the list on Forbes not every club ever. I apologize, there's an increasing societal trend to brush the magority of clubs aside in favour of the interest of the richest and most famous 0.1% that infuriates me, in Germany at least. Am reacting unfairly sometimes to it, therefore. Disagree with the bolded part nonetheless, that might be true in nations with a comparatively short footballing history. In countries with a more storied tradition the number of former successful and still quite supported clubs in the lower tiers is not as negligible as your comment suggests.

I’m not denying any of that but I would say that more than 50% of fans do, and that would qualify as most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 31, 2022 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2022 Charity Shield is usually played between the previous season's league winners and FA Cup winners. In 1971, Leicester won it despite not winning the league or FA Cup the season before. We have Arsenal to thank for it. They won league & cup double, but a pre-season tour clashed with the Charity Shield. FA Cup final runners-up (Liverpool) and Leicester as winners of 2nd division took part instead.
