Ideas for making football more exciting like it used to be

How about a proper player dress code. Shirts must be tucked inside shorts, socks pulled up and all players to have short back and sides (no Alice bands). Goal celebration to be a quick handshake. How about getting rid of those crazy number formations and have full backs, wing halves and inside forwards.

Cloth caps and rattles a prerequisite to get into the ground for supporters.

Let’s have passing back to the goal keeper who can pick it up and then bounce the ball all around the area before hoofing it up to the big guy to knock it on to the small quick guy.

Those were the days.

Things eventually turn a full circle so you never know we might have jumpers for goalposts….
 
New offside law:
1. Feet only. Noses no. Measuring down from the shoulder, no. Etc
2. Genuine advantage to the attacker when it’s close. No time wasted with intricate VAR examination. Ref’s call like umpire’s call in cricket.
3. New 30 yard line outside which there is no offside. Frees up the middle third.
 
1. Dog shit all around the ground so people can have fun avoiding it.
2. Premier League clubs to have compulsory terraced housing built around them, with pubs, chippies and young lads 'minding your car' for £10. (Allowing for inflation.)
3. Cash/card admission on the gate.
4. 'Reserved chairs' in main stand only.
5. Supporter fights in segregated areas like big tennis courts.'
6. Smoke generators in 'popular' areas to give a traditional atmosphere.
7. A trolley bus route from the city/town centre to the ground operating a 2.5 minute frequency.
8. Abusive chants to be allowed. All stands to have at least one fan who stands up at intervals, waves his glasses and calls the ref a 'blind ****.'
9. Catering to be restricted to Bovril (or OXO) and pies. Hospitality areas can serve pie and chips with gravy.
10. Beer to be allowed on terraces, along with pissing in situ. Beer must be a repro of Greenalls draught keg piss.
11. Tokens to be included in programmes and stuck on sheets.
12. Half-time scores to be delivered by coded letters on a manual scoreboard.
13. The pre-match entertainment to be a brass (or silver) band.
14. Dodgy hamburgers to be sold from trolleys outside the ground.

#10 that Greenalls better be no more than 26p/pt.
 
Less clinical VAR interference. If it takes over 2 minutes to justify an offside decision, the attacking player probably isn't offside.

More leeway regarding fouls. The game is stopped from flowing with the constant blowing of the whistle for the littlest of contact. An aggressive but fair challenge can spark a game into life, something we rarely see nowadays. I'd go as far as booking player for going down because he's been nipped in the face with a finger.

Cheaper tickets to entice/help more locals to get to games. (Sorry overseas supporters) Having a larger, locally based support in the stands would make for a better atmosphere in my opinion and increase the excitement of attending.
 
Any player who gets injured near the touch line who then roles 27 times back onto the pitch 5 game ban.
The play acting is a joke
