I know this comment is what I've already said on the note you posted for this article but I hold to to repeating it here so.
I can only agree with this, my friend of many years has been a full supporter of his local footy team, I only started going to match's with him three odd years ago purely for the socialising aspect not the games themselves, essentially an excuse to get out of the house and be with him to chin-wag about crap.
With that said the main point I'd like to state is that I recall reading an article written by a Jewish bloke about the difference between Europeans and Jews, it was rather respectful, the basic jist of it was that the Jew is a people of words or writing, in that they experience life via letters.
Whereas the European does so via physical activity such as sports or more seriously Warfare, in that ‘sports’ are what we use to prepare for latter life and that this is a core or even first principle that makes Europeans different to Jews, even other non-Europeans infact.
As an aside to the arse wipes trying to smooth over the rough edges of the supporters/ fans I don't hold that these efforts will work long term, if anything they'll just push the fans out of the games and they'll end up at the lower ranked games, the Sunday matches or lower league venues.
Especially with the pricing nowadays, too expensive to bother going, easily £100+ for a single day out, and that's not even for the Prem or Championship teams.
