Otherwise it is too late."

Thats how much it's changed,i've probably seen every cup final since i was knee high and can always remember the winning team doing a lap of honour with the stadium still full,the fans made a day of it win or lose. As for it being a business,that cup final just showed how things are these days and it does not suprise me that season ticket sales are supposedly going down for next season.
