But they will still watch their hometown team play, won't they?
Will you stop watching HSV Hamburg if Bayern is crowned the champions of Buli tomorrow?

Hamad you have absolutely no clue about what would be good for the league, about the fans, anything. BuLi's 50+1 system should and will not change.

Well hamad does have one point though. The reason why Bundesliga doesnt have a competetive title race at this point, is not because they technically couldnt do better than that (and also not because of reasons like Bayern buying one or two top players every 5 years from another good german club) but simply because the DFB imposed strict restrictions upon the league.
But there is a reason why those restrictions are there, it has something to do with morals and traditions here in germany. The mentality in germany is different and so is the view on these things, people want a competetive league but not at all costs.
However, these restrictions made way for a lot of advantages only possible due to this, advantages other countries in europe envy us for, advantages that make the Bundesliga different from other leagues. The Bundesliga is "the best league" in many aspects, just not in the title race or in the number of top clubs.

bloody hell, this rule needs to go because it isnt even used properly and some Teams have excuses like leipzig and hoffenheim

In the long run, a one team dominated league will lead to problems for that team in itself. I know Germany is a much bigger country but a kind of parallel can be drawn to a degree with Celtic in Scotland. They dominate the league but without competition, they are a big fish in a small pond and attendances have fallen sharply as a result as boredom sets in

Bundesliga is the league with the most attendance on this planet. That hasn't changed even with Bayern dominating at will. IIRC, the average attendance has even increased, not declined.

What does Attendance bring u? Yeah nothing, and if the 50+1 Rule goes, I doubt the Attendance will sink. Its not like they forbid u going to stadion

I was refuting the argument in question. The rest of your posting doesn't have to do anything to do with it.

Well, attendance is the most important thing for football as a sport.
It shows that the people who really care are still watching their teams despite the league being decided basically after two months. Most of them don't watch the matches because they want to adorn themselves with trophies, but they enjoy themselves by giving support to the teams in good and bad times. I'm not sure if you can say the same about most of the fans of rich oil clubs.

That's for now though the point is, if Bayern keep on dominating to this extent, the well will run dry one day

Speculation. Current evidence in reality points to the contrary.

We will see soothsayer but any league that is dominated by one side is bound to suffer eventually

I don't think attendance will be affected but I think tv deals will

There are 51.000 people in the stadium in a match between Frankfurt and Köln and this is fairly unaffected by how many times Bayern win the league. Those teams are not even fighting for any title and what Bayern does, isnt bothering them. The numbers wont run dry.
