I actually don't think you can turn the clock back Lindsay, the top line pros would cost an arm and a leg these days and are more likely to sign short term contracts with country sides. The other side is that this day and age kids aren't encouraged to play games any more, when I was growing up you played football and cricket in the back streets, never seems to happen now, kids are more likely to stay in doors playing computer games. Again when I was a youngster I used to go every week with my parents (ya both of them) to watch Church, which was like most LL grounds full to the brim with like minded people, just don't happen today sadly
