Get ticket prices reduced, nationwide. This can be achieved by a simple boycott from football grounds. The result of reduced prices is that suddenly, families can go and afford to watch football matches. This means kids aren't brought up on the hype. The problem is that the last 20 years have been among the worst for football. For a large part of 90s football still carried a hooligan image hangover from Hillsbrough, but at the same time got more expensive and became more available on TV. A whole generation of fans to clubs that aren't massive has potentially been lost.
Don't subscribe to sky.

this is full on head-in-the-clouds material
you make some valid points in the middle there but you seem to be blaming sky an awful lot.
its not just a case of 'dont subscribe to sky' or 'cap wages' as this wouldn't work now, its too late.
the only way to go from where we already are is to ensure a better division of the profits from things like the TV sponsorship etc.
You can't budget a private business, and like it or not, thats what the big football clubs are nowadays. And if you tried, you would probably end up with some ridiculous situation where the top leagues in europe would simply split from the FA(s) and create their own leagues, thus dividing top from bottom even more.
