Grassroots football is not all about producing the next Premier League football player i can assure you it's a lot more important than that

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

Only a bottom up approach from the FA will arrest the decline in English football. Provide the facilities and coaches to enable all children to play the game.

Grassroots football clubs across the UK face major financial pressure due to sharp increases in council pitch hire fees, driven by local authority budget cuts and rising maintenance costs.
Will the independent football regulator be looking into this below ?

FA's statement re the football regulators report
Mark Bullingham "emphasized that grassroots players/referees/coaches and free volunteers are the foundations of the English game and stressed that the regulator should support the long-term heath of the entire sport"
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.

The FA's "Blueprint for the future of football" in 1991 claimed that breaking away to form the Premier League would "benefit our National team and grassroots football" 34 years on we ask the question has it ??
