The Industrial revolution had a massive impact upon all the classes in Britain and in turn affected the growth of association football. One factor was that there was now more time for sport to be performed/watched, this came because both Saturday and Wednesday were designated as half days, and this increase in free time allowed games such as football to be played more often and by a larger group of people. This boom in big industry meant an increase in the wages of the working class, this in turn meant that they could afford to pay for transport to games as well as the entrance fee to the ground. The industrial revolution also brought with it a vast increase in the british transportation system, most namely the rail network, this allowed teams to travel around the country and play against many different teams, this also led to an increase in the frequency of matches as because of this transport system leagues were able to be set up. Public schools also had a significant, arguably the most significant, influence on the development of association football.
