Has sport and football become just too expensive to watch and support?

You often get a better view of specific incidents on television with their closer cameras and replays but the atmosphere is much better at the stadium, depending on where you sit you can also get a view of the entire pitch in a way you wouldn't on tv giving you a better understanding of how teams are set-up e.t.c.
It's much more expensive to watch the Premier League in person than on TV. Both are expensive.

Well, the main argument for replays is the smaller sides wanting to be drawn against one of the big teams for the TV money and gate receipts. Not going to happen in the first two rounds and fixture congestion also impacts lower-league football with their bigger leagues. I think a lot of these clubs would be happy to skip replays if they were drawn against teams from the same division.
