  Have to say that in the past when local players turned out for KL the football world was very different with the only non English players featuring in Divisions 1-4 were Scots,Welsh or Irish players. If you look around now there is a huge number of foreign players plying their trade even down to non league football if I am correct there are a few at KL. If you extrapolate this then there are English players who if born 50 years earlier would now be playing league football thus giving opportunities to local players if they were good enough.
The world of football has changed, attendances are down apart from the premiership there is little or no little  loyalty to the club who employs you as agents are used to chase the holy grail of the £. Gone are the days when supporters finished work on Saturday lunchtime went to the pub for a pint and a pie then onto the match as my grandparents did. My Dad spoke queuing to get into the game and standing with 3-6 thousand to watch a game at the Walks.
Nowadays we regular supporters are rather like Dinosaurs as socially we haven't changed whereas many have deserted live football to pursue or take in other interests.
I fear for the future of local soccer.
