    Perhaps a lot of clubs will go amateur. No bad thing.
    Maybe we'll be watching local lads running round Oakwell managed by the landlord of the Mount.
    Give football back to the people.
    I saw an ex pro at the weekend saying the government should step in.
    Can you imagine that?
    The country's on it's knees and bailing out a load of billionaire owners and millionaire footballers.

    The attendance figures boomed after the War and into the 50s. The game reached its peak in the UK. The players played for the love of the game and the game belonged to the people.

    Look at the shower of shyte that the game has become nowadays....

    I love the scenes of the old fellas jammed in the crowd dressed in ties and suits waving their flat caps.

    Changing subject slightly. If England had taken the World Cup seriously back then. It could have won it before 1966. It had some greats in that era.
