Wrexham imploding, bottling? All hope not gone, but they need some big favours now... of course I probably jinxed them when I started switching picks to them winning/drawing. Don't worry I'm switching back now.
That is the problem when you "grow", also here in the top teams like Boca and River when the stadium doesnt have more capacity the prices of the tickets goes up and a lot of people start to complain about tickets for tourist or if they have to allow fans who are not club members to have a ticket or a place in the stadium. And this is impossible to answer is not solution to give, you can only rise the prices of tickets or reserve the place for club members and nothing more.
You trade the popularity worldwide for the local clasic atmosphere. Is one or the other not both.
I will always choose the local atmosphere.
Sorry I responded to this late, but I just wanted to say: I always choose local atmosphere also. There's just something special about it. And I've watched from VIP boxes where fellow spectators tell me: nah, they're happy in the box. Maybe I will agree when I'm older and it's more comfortable sipping wine/beer while having lots of space around.
But for me, the best memories are still surrounded by fellow rabid fans shouting our old (dead) club on. The smell of clove cigarettes, piss, sweat, shitty views of the actual pitch, not really knowing if a goal was scored at the other end or not (we didn't have tv screens then). Fuck. Those were happy nights.
