In 1992 Football was stolen from the working class people, many true football supporters today can no longer afford to go and watch their team play anymore or even buy a replica kit simply due to affordability

Norway’s grassroots football revolution—driven by massive infrastructure investments, a focus on holistic development, and a reliance on volunteer coaches—has successfully bridged the gap between community participation and elite success

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

We can confirm that grassroots football is the place ALL football players start off, and yet sadly so many footballer continue to forget their roots #Savegrassrootsfooty

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

You don't get to play for #ENG without the help/support from grassroots football along the way and we should never forget this #NeverForgetYourRoots

@Tony_Scott11 Great goal, true ... but the best ever was Carlos Alberto, Brazil's 4th goal v Italy in the 1970 final.

You don't get to play in the #WorldCup without the help/support from the place every football player starts off "Grassroots Football"

"The Privatization of grassroots football"

To all those grassroots clubs/teams/partner clubs using these FA/Premier League hubs remember these are not yours even though you might call it your home pitch/training facilities your just a paying tenant to a private company

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

This is one reason grassroots football is the way it is, Listen to Simon Jordan talking about the Premier League not paying their dues to grassroots football

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

Loads of kids football off again this weekend and yes this happens every year The FA has 2 options
1- Move the grassroots season
2- Invest more £money into affordable in/out door facilities
But doing nothing and burying their heads in the sand is not a option anymore

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

Money or ability shouldn't stop any child from playing football or just taking part in a training session

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

2026 and we ask the question why haven't all grassroots football clubs/teams got access to affordable facilities like below

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

Remember when ALL of the below was affordable

"Football doesn't start with the Premier League it all starts at the base of the footballing pyramid grassroots football and we should never forget this"

[SaveGrassRootsFooty @savegrassroots]

In 1999, in exchange for government backing over the right of the Premier League to sell its broadcast rights collectively, the League promised to distribute 5% of its TV income to the grassroots game from 2001 season onwards however, this pledge continues to remain unfulfilled.

How badly will the £12.21 an hour minimum wage damage British business? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.
