I lost my love for it, when it became obvious that the rich men's playthings were killing US as a feeder club to them.
Man City was the final straw to me, in turning my back on the game. I could live with Man Utd and Chelsea, but not another team buying success.
Every time we'd get a young star to hope that we could build our team around, then the Barry/Milner/Young situation would arise again.
Soul destroying to see it happen annually.
This happened before the recent managerial debacles at Villa Park, which only serve to compound my judgement even more. Now I spend that money elsewhere on my familys enjoyment.
This comes with a heavy heart too. I loved going up every game.
