Boyd is absolutely spot on , if you don’t have £40 per month you can’t pay for your child to join the local football team , it’s ridiculous, schools padlocking the Astro pitch to stop Wayne’s using it to

Sad reality really, go back to being a kid there was no academy’s you pay to play at where scouts turn up. It was just good old fashioned Sunday league with summer tourneys thrown in and you just got the odd scout turning up randomly with a level playing field. #grassroots

Son to his Dad
Why can't I go and watch my favorite team play ?
Why can't you buy me my favorite team kit ?
Why don't we have Sky to watch my team play ?
Why can't I play in a team or go to training sessions ?
Dad "We just can't afford the costs anymore son"

The very reason I made turfscout. Sadly, after 2 years of digging through the data of pitches in the UK. There are VERY few options for kids to just turn up and play.

Good post @savegrassroots
The most heartbreaking photo in grassroots football is the kid sitting on the bench on his or her own.

Was this your child today, "I only played 5 minutes today because the coach said it was a important game"
Grassroots football is not the Premier League people

The Premier League combined domestic and international TV rights since 2000 = £55 billion
£1.04 billion of this money has been paid into the football foundation for grassroots football
As you can see this is not 5% as they agreed and grassroots football is owed £Millions
