No worries. I hope they keep it available permanently, because it's such a great snapshot of the past. The Black Country landscape, all the things which have changed in football, and a few things which haven't! (Also had ter loff at the line "Tipton boasts little in the way of entertainment." Obviously the days of shopping-trolley-bobsledding were still to come 
)
If I recall correctly, it was only twelve months or so until many of the blokes featured in the film actually did refuse to train in those conditions, and promptly held the infamous "tracksuit rebellion". In that wide shot outside the training ground, you can even see the bonk where Jimmy Hagan went and tipped his car into the cut!
