1994: The future of football?
"Tonight you'll watch Barcelona against Newcastle United in the European Super League."
Standing Room Only imagines how football might look in the year 2004.
Can you imagine a world where subscription TV money controls the game completely? Where clubs turn their backs on loyal, working-class supporters to court a new breed of affluent, fickle consumer-fans? Where a European Super League is formed to allow elite clubs like Newcastle United and Barcelona to show pay-per-view matches via their own broadcast channels? Where football is no longer a legitimate sporting endeavour but a soulless corporate entertainment product?
Originally broadcast on 4 May 1994.
