⚽️ How long you have to support a club to become a legacy fan....
⚽️ ‘Legacy fan’ term implies they are what now owners inherited but not their future target.
⚽️ Legacy fans anchor a club in its community.
⚽️ No growth in Legacy fans because stadia don’t have rubber walls. https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1384974426307973120
⚽️ ‘Legacy fans’ are therefore massively outnumbered by ‘media fans’
⚽️ Income growth can only be had by exploiting ‘media fans’ if stadia is routinely sold out and you’ve ripped the ‘Legacy fans’ off on pints, pies and merchandise.
⚽️ The game is about money and they know...
...they’ve maxed out ‘Legacy fan’ income.
⚽️ Clubs can’t grow ad Infinitum without taking a bigger share of media cash for themselves. Legacy fans have been milked.
⚽️ Clubs go ex growth without taking a bigger share of the pot. They want the highest value games and to stream...
...them on their own channels.
⚽️ This is currently a problem and will become a bigger problem with IFollow in time.
