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.

Need someone like him again, on target again
very informative document that’s well produced, found one or two bits re KL history I was unaware of.
Been there before in fa cup and came back with empty pockets need to be better than last Saturday.
Same as last season as far as playing CA. Why do we persist in over hitting crosses and think Gold is a Jack on the beanstalk with balls coming out from our half, there was also a lack of support at times for him. We lacked control in midfield whilst CA strutted around, they outplayed us and had some clear chances to win 5-0. This is not playoff more like just keeping above the relegation battle.
