The problem is that these days school fields are fenced off and locked and local parks don't allow ball games etc. Most sport these days at junior level is supervised and costs money to participate in. We used to play football and tennis on our school fields and tennis courts until it got dark, depending on how many kids turned up or who had a ball.

Ska and yourself reference societal changes which make growing up and access to facilities much harder without cash. Add in the minefield of legislation around safety, DBS checks plus transport costs and you can see barriers for many in some communities.
