I'm actually fed up with football becoming more "business-y", with companies sponsoring leagues and competitions to the extent whereby presenters and pundits have to refer to them with the sponsor's names, such as "The FA Cup with Budwiser", or the "Barclays Premier League". Furthermore, I also detest it how companies are now changing established stadium names. I could go on, but I rather wouldn't as I'd annoy myself even more, and it would mean my post would be longer.
All in all, it just goes to show that money is infecting the game that we know and love on an epidemic level. I prefer to take a prescriptivist stance on the matter, preserving the traditional side of the game before the viral epidemic ruins football for all of us.
If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd...then guess what brother, it is a turd...
Therefore The Conference will always be the Conference to me, I know a couple of people who still call it the Alliance
...All this is going to do is cause a gulf between the Step 2 and Step 3 Leagues downover...
