THE reason why Burnley's gate against Fulham was 11,000 is simple.

After shelling out £20 to see the first game and then the prospect of another £15 to £19 for the replay - and then finding out that the game is on TV was why the gate was low.

Sky TV is killing the game as we know it. Games are on every hour, every day - not a day goes by when football isn't on.

I know it's money for the clubs, but Sky TV is going over the top if you ask me.

People are not going to shell out good money when they can go to the pub and watch a game for the price of a couple of beers.
