Impact of Industrial Revolution on Sports:
Social Influences: Thanks to sports many people were often brought together. This was mainly due to its quickly escalating popularity in public schools and with the adults. Many students were inspired to continue playing sports after leaving school. Also, with the reduced working hours, many of the adults could either watch or participate in these sporting events. Many people, thanks to the development in transport, could travel across counties and support their teams in these matches and events. This had boosted the patronage of the teams. Landowners took advantage of this situation and began charging the spectators a small fee in order to enable them to watch the matches.
