Sit Down and Shut Up

Every Saturday, football fans attend their "theatres of dreams". At grounds all over the country they carry with them fond memories of sitting on Dad's shoulders, watching legendary players. But football is being transformed. In his film, Robert Cookson , a lifelong Manchester United supporter, questions what is happening to the modern game and, with the help of fellow fans, asks whether commercialism is killing it.
