It might just have tipped over the abyss.

This season gates are down in the Premiership. At Ipswich in the Championship they have been down this season compared to last, despite their position in the League. Even at Newmarket racecourse, the gate for the big Cambridgeshire meeting was not what it normally is.

Why?

Could it be that the greed that decreed an extra Sky match at 5:15 every Saturday means that people are no longer prepared to go out to watch sport? Or is it just that people are being careful now that interest rates are rising?
