I am absolutely convinced that the dream of the football leaders is that no one goes to the stadiums. The fans constitute barely 10% of the income of the big clubs and they are increasingly demanding, as if the owners of the teams felt it. Most of the five-star clubs are owned by states or billionaires, whose frontmen laugh in private when they hear the fans calling for their resignation when the results don’t go along. Among the big teams are Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, ​​which are members. But the whites are quite similar to the state clubs: you only have to look at the political, economic and judicial power of their lodge. And what’s more, they have an owner who makes all the decisions. At Barça, the desperate financial situation of the organization made the members vote for Joan Laporta in an attack of nostalgia. The melancholy loop has these things: when the present assaulted us, we took refuge in the past. That’s why we also want Messi to come back.
I always thought there would be a day when we subscribers would be replaced by cutouts with our faces. Do you remember the stadiums tuned by technology during the covid? But AI now allows us to have a holography of ourselves in the stadium, while we follow the game at home with virtual reality glasses. Does it make sense that Barça played yesterday at ten o’clock on a weekday? But the television stations, which pay the bulk of the party, want distant markets to be able to watch European club matches in prime time, so they rule.
The latest proof of all this is that, faced with the fact that FC Barcelona’s 80,000 season tickets do not fit in the 49,000 seats at the LluÃs Companys stadium, the board has frozen all season tickets and increased ticket prices by 50% localities Manager Elena Fort explained it in her own way: There is no increase, it’s a different product (?). So easy that it was easy to say that they were doing it for our good, since the Olympic Stadium is difficult to access and the wind that blows there could leave some seasoned members like sparrows.
