Synopsis

Non-league football is a multi-million pound industry that exists in a permanent state of chaos. Its clubs have been owned by Hollywood superstars like Ryan Reynolds, footballing galacticos like David Beckham and business tycoons like Dale Vince, but it’s still run like a whelk stall.
The pyramid system gives thousands of clubs a chance of reaching the top, but it comes at a price: in nearly 50 years since it was formed, for every club that’s reached the promised land of the Football League another has gone bust trying.
Fred Atkins, co-writer of the film "Gate Money," was there as a six-year-old fan when the Alliance Premier League was born in 1979 and watched it evolve into a business watched by nearly two million people a year.
Pyramid Schemes is the story of a football revolution that took place years before Sky claimed to have reinvented the game and of the barely believable triumphs, scandals and fiascos that happened during nearly half a century of insanity.
