[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 946619, member: 40658"] It's way more complex than that. There isn't a single reason why the stands are more empty than they used to be. Yes SANZAAR's meddling in the format certainly had an effect on it, but it's not the only reason. To single out South Africa, our current economic issues have certainly made it harder to go to a stadium and watch a game. The nearest stadium for me is Loftus Versfeld and it's 300km's (186 miles) away from my home town. It would cost me on fuel and toll road alone about $150 and then I still need to buy a ticket and arrange for a place to sleep depending on the time of the match ending and so on. In SA, more and more people just can't afford to go to the stadium like they used to, and would rather stay at home and watch it on their tv's on the paytv service in order to watch the game.
