Fair comment ...

The most disappointing thing in my eyes is that the youth of today, the next generation, will not get to experience the ‘rough and ready’ feel of traveling to an old style football ground. Instead they will only know the feel of plastic, soulless all-seater stadiums that are a symbol of the corporate giants who run football today. There are still a good few stadiums left in the higher leagues that have that old school feel about them, take Turf Moor for example. Although half of the ground has been modernised in the past 20 years and has been abolished of the terraces that once rocked Burnley, it still has that nostalgic feel. Situated amongst rows of terraced houses, in the heart of Burnley, it reminds you of how football should be, how it was once for the fans, the working class people, not the Russian or Arab billionaires.
