Sports letter: Never mind 2000, let's turn clock back

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: I believe that almost all the changes made in football over the last decade - the Premier League, the Taylor Report, Sky - have been for the worse. While I have nothing against the players making more money, it seems that the more money poured into the game, the lower the quality of the product we get in return. Yes, I would like to turn the clock back to the days of bigger crowds standing on terraces. I would also like to see the entire league programme played on Saturday afternoons again.
