  • The pub has played an central role in both professional and grassroots football culture for hundreds of years. But with the number of UK licensed premises falling below 100,000 for the first time since records began last year, the two are in a marriage that's on the rocks. And we're already starting to see the impact it's having on matchday rituals, the funding of grassroots football, and male social interaction. Matt Cutler takes a journey into the relationship between football and the pub, and looks for answers for how the two can avoid divorce. A series by Unofficial Partner Productions.

However, it also triggered a cataclysmic decline in music industry revenues, bottoming out at $7bn in 2014 from $21bn in 1999. Are we about to see history repeating itself for sport?
