I've had this argument before. I find it immensely patronising.
It is completely different. The fact that many can't afford to support their team is testament to that.

I honestly don't know a single Spurs fan that doesn't go because of the cost of tickets - it's either lack of availability or just idleness

And what has also changed a lot is the way you are allowed to express your support , last time i was at the Lane a steward threatened to kick me out because i was standing up (mind you i was in the last row so wasnt impeding the view of anybody) and screaming a bit too loud , wtf. English stewards a very strict about the chants you are allowed to sing (even if its just a bit of innocent banter) , you cant sing about Terry being a racist ? Isn't that just taking it way to far ?
I know they wanted to make it more a family game and kill off the violence but is it really necessary to take it to the extreme ?
Its become an increasingly corporate controlled game.
