Norfolk football club hopes smaller teams could benefit from Super League fallout
King's Lynn Town FC is about to finish its first season in the National League
King's Lynn Town is hoping disappointed fans from the 'Big Six' clubs joining the European Super League will move away and support local clubs.
Mark Hurle from the club he hopes fans from West Norfolk who support bigger clubs will also show their support for the Linnets.
He says there's been a lot of anger from fans - but smaller clubs could benefit:
"They travel to London and Liverpool. I think some fans might now think 'hang on, do I really want to do that? Should I be supporting my local team?
"I do think, done correctly, the local teams could really pick up some floating supporters, and could keep those supporters."
Twelve clubs - including the Premier League's so-called 'big six' - are part of plans which would fundamentally alter the shape of European football.
Three of the four Champions League semi-finalists - Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid - are part of the breakaway while Arsenal and Manchester United are in the Europa League semi-finals.
There remains the possibility of players belonging to those 12 clubs being banned from Euro 2020.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned the plans for the breakaway league.
BT Sport, UK broadcaster of the Premier League and Champions League, said in a statement:
"BT recognises the concerns raised by many of football's leading voices and fans and believes the formation of a European Super League could have a damaging effect to the long term health of football in this country.''
The money on offer from the Super League has been likened to the promise of an extra £350million a week to the NHS on the side of a bus during the Brexit referendum in 2016 by a source within one of the world's leading broadcasters.
The broadcaster, a Premier League rights holder, would expect all contracts to be rewritten in the event of a Super League going ahead, the source said, which would have a negative impact for the English top flight's breakaway big six as well as the rest of the league.
