That 'fanatical support' seems to be on the wane when you see from their website that ekstraliga crowds this season are 20% down from those in 2018 and 2019.

Also 'the operating model' contains Lucky Losers in the playoffs. You can finish sixth, get knocked out the playoffs and still end up league champions.

I suspect that is in part due to losing Zelona Gora and gaining Ostrow.

Teams in GB would love to have that lost 20% are there normal crowd figures.IMO

Sponsorship is the main contribution to income over there,if that started to drop of there would be a problem .It’s looks strong at this present time though.

I guess it's down to personal opinion...I used to enjoy "The Black & White Minstrels" but the point is that there was more variety back then (good and bad) unlike today's bland "celeb" culture shows in whatever format, soaps (okay they've been around for many years but not at the intensity we now experience), and the constant "crime dramas" that now appear to fill our screens.

BBC4 running with a celebration of Saturday Night on the beeb with a re-run of "The Generation Game" and the "Two Ronnies" tonight...know what I'll be watching...beats sport rammed down your throat!
