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.

Lisa it time you got the Premier League to honour their agreement from 1999 of 5% of their Tv deals to go back into grassroots football

Behind every sporting great, there’s a community club where it all began. Great to celebrate grassroots facilities at @10DowningStreet this evening and commit an extra £10m this year to support the places where the love of sport is born.

@savegrassroots I hate all this long throw in, corner obstruction shit, what goes on inside the penalty area would be considered fouls anywhere else on the pitch so why not in the penalty box.

@savegrassroots Media / press willingly use “best” league in the world when what they really mean is “richest”.
Beardsley, Cantona, Wright, Le Tissier, Fowler….. early PL might not have been as strategic as today’s league but it was far more entertaining to watch.

Anyone else think the standard of football in the Premier League is poor and boring to watch ?
