Mob Footy

Why?

Villagers enjoyed the barbaric nature of the holiday contests

Also, boisterous workers competed due to the aggressive nature of the game.

The pupils were aggresive, it enabled a fight for dominance among them

It was a favourable pastime of Public Schools

Some claim that the games started as a celebration of the defeat of the Romans

Who?

Often groups of workers from specific villages and factories

Not a family event due to it's nature

Workers often brought friends and co-workers

There was a separation between the Upper and Lower Class's

The rowdy lower class participated
