But would live TV coverage not discourage away fans from travelling to games? And those 'home' fans who sacrifice so much to travel long distances to watch their teams - Manchester United supporters who, as the old jokes go, are just as likely to travel up the M6 from the Home Counties as they are to live in Manchester. Or Chelsea supporters travelling to London from Sussex and Kent, West Ham supporters from all over Essex. Newcastle fans live in Cumbria and Yorkshire, even in Scotland.
