Having seen recent posts about the lack of activity here etc...
I thought I would share something I have been thinking about for the last couple of weeks.
Does anyone else feel that Football is too accessible these days?
When I grew up in the 90's (27 now), I started getting into football around 95/96.
It was in these early years when Sky Sports would show one game on a Saturday and maybe one on a Sunday with the occasional Monday night game.
These games generally consisted of big fixtures only however e.g. Man Utd v Liverpool
I remember when my dad would get me all excited for the Charity Shield match before a season as it was always such a battle and amazing atmosphere.
To see any highlights of your teams goals, you would have to wait for the local news or even Goals on Sunday for a quick video of your teams goals.
Fast forward 20 years,
Now we have 5 live games a weekend on Sky, accompanied with BT Sport showing a couple, not to mention all the med week games, Friday night games and Monday Games shown.
In fact these days it's probably harder to find a night when there isn't a football match on live somewhere.
For me, I feel a bit fed up of football in general as i feel it is rammed down my throat everywhere i turn, Even sights like Twitter show highlights of goals seconds after they have gone in.
I know things at West Brom aren't inspiring at the moment, but I just wonder if anyone else is actually fed up of football in general, as oppose to just the Albion.
