  1. Pre – Industrial Post – Industrial Social changes leading to rationalisation of sport

  2. INITALLY THE UPPER & MIDDLE CLASSES WANTED TO KEEP THEIR SPORTS TO THEMSELVES. They did not want the working classes involved for two mains reasons: 2. The rules governing a sport were often made to exclude the working classes. Only the gentleman amateur was permitted to play.

  3. Fewer opportunities for working class to participate

  4. Lack of leisure time/free time • Lack of money • Lack of facilities • Restrictive membership regulations • Limited demand for professional sport • Encouraged to become spectators • Traditional working class sports frowned upon/banned Fewer opportunities for working class to participate

  5. What sport did not extend to the separation of classes?

  6. Ex-public school boys formed most of the original teams/clubs who dominated the F.A. Cup BUT in the industrial north & midlands. Teams of working class players were beginning to emerge • One of the problems of urbanisation was the lack of SPACE to play sports • Often only land available was land belonging to the local factory owner or church The use of this land lead to: • Many factory- and church –based teams • Reduction of the working week to permit a half-day on Saturdays

  7. Church groups – Everton, Bolton, Fulham, Aston Villa & Barnsley Old Boys teams – Leicester Employee's team – Manchester City Early Closure team – Sheffield Wednesday http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FA_Cup_winners

  8. Workers having a half day would pay and watch their local football team • Paying spectators gave the teams money which they then used to bring in better players NOT ALL SPORTS became professional at this time. Rugby League was quick to follow in the north of England. Many sports remained strictly amateur until quite recently, WHY? Professionalism
