I would like to plug this channel on YouTube. It is about City planning. The channel makes what appears to be a dry subject intriguing. The guy making the videos is a Canadian who lives in The Netherlands and basically fell in love with their city planing. Most of us lives in urban environments today and the trend doesn't show any signs of shifting in the near future. He tackles an important question regarding our future, how do we want our cities to work? Should cities be car dependent or pedestrian friendly? Are our cities sustianable with urban sprawls? How does city planing correlates with tax revenue? Really juicy questions to ponder if one is interested in conscious politics and this channel provide good insights into those questions.

I grew up in a small town. To have a club in those places you had father's cutting the grass on weekends. You had mother set up stales to sale hot-dogs and sweets during the grown ups team. The kids sold lottery tickets and everybody took turns to drive to the location where the children played their match. You hear the sports pundits talking about grassroots and that how many club's I guess starts, on the initiative of many people. @fridjonk You're right, the Germans really had foresight on monetisation and ownership structures. Germany is still one of the larger leagues that have affordable tickets for their highest division. Im not against money in sports, but everyone suspects that the current level of player purchases and salaries was going to be unsustainable. Thanks for the welcome @snowyowl .

This is my first post in a forum, outside of YouTube's comment-field . I don't watch the beautiful game as much as I used to, but it really hurts me to see my former team, Man United do this. The history and love those teams gathered from fans is immeasurable. In our post religious society does those teams kind of substitute that Sunday church experience many people got from attending service. Slogans like You never walk alone carries deep meaning for people in those areas. And for some rich, pragmatic and careless owner/owner's to only see € pounds, and dollars makes me sad. I knew somewhere in the back of my head that stage orange greed was on the way to destroy or monetise football . Im not surprised, but Im still shocked and disappointed if that makes sense.
