Was watching a game the other day and noticed there was a crate of drinks at each corner flag, then I remembered the world cup in Mexico when big Jack Charlton was managing republic of Ireland getting booked because the players were melting in 40 degree heat and the officials refused to allow the players to get water, how times have changed.
No towels to dry a ball off, quagmire pitches could go on and on good old days eh or were they.

I recall, back in the 1960s watching an Inter Cities Fairs Cup game, can't recall who against, when standing on the Kop we couldn't see the goal at the far end because of thick fog. We only knew when we scored when the fans in the South stand cheered. These days it'd have been abandoned.

There's no point acting if no one can see your performance!
