The focus on small rural communities in pre-industrial Britain was the basis for mob football. It was used as a way for the people to gather, celebrate, and just have some communal fun. The Industrial Revolution led to extensive flight from these communities to the city and devalued the importance of mob football.

Rugby originated from soccer (football)
There were different kinds of football played in the Middle Ages, and mob football was one of them. There was no set of rules, except as was agreed upon at the beginning of the game. In the case of mob football, the rules might have consisted merely of where the goals were, and the number of people playing on either side was not stipulate, so the sides could be whoever wished to join in, in whatever number they came.
