#3 The crowds, the passion
Even with the waning passion in the stands due to exorbitant ticket prices, England still boasts some of the highest attendance figures in Europe. Venues like Anfield, Old Trafford and lately even the King Power Stadium have the capacity to daunt the opposition teams before even a ball is kicked.
The very soul of football is the passion of fans – there is something eerily disconcerting about watching a football match being played in an empty stadium. The insignificant extra revenue generated from matchday pricings has become irrelevant amidst the figures being thrown around.
It would be great for the PL if the club owners realise no amount of money can buy passion.
