Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Done by Beckham's production company isn’t it? I know, I’m surprised he has a production company but should be able to see where this is going a mile off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PL was made through sheer greed from the usual suspects at the usual clubs. Nothing more, nothing less and sky needed a viable product to get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42149 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I watched the first one too but thought similar to HMHM. Italia 90 was massive but it wasn’t the game changer it was portrayed as. There were other social changes taking place. Hillsborough has a far greater effect on the change to the match day experience. Even the drugs changed things with casuals taking Es etc. in the wake of acid house. And the eventual realisation of the massive potential for tv subscription revenue of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Would love to see Alex making a 6 part Netflix series about it.

PaddockLad 22498 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Spot on @Alex, the Taylor report had a far greater effect on changing the supporter demographic than Sky could ever hope of doing....the demise of the terraces was a result of Hillsborough....they didn't really need to go though, just the fences.. lots of things coincided at that time to change football but surprise surprise Hillsborough & Bradford and their subsequent reports weren't mentioned in the doc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 18039 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (I know that wasn't in the PL but it merits several episodes regardless. Reallocate 30 minutes to Uriah Rennie as required) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
