Hello all,
I'm currently writing a dissertation looking at changes to English football culture between 1980 and 2010. I wondered if you had the time to provide a (very) quick response to some questions? Anything you could provide would be extremely beneficial.
How did football clubs/ institutions present their relationship to their fans and local communities?
How was this changed by the increasing commercialisation and internationalisation of the sport?
How did fan groups seek to resist/ challenge changes in the sport?
How were concepts such as traditionalism, authenticity and community used in these debates?
How was the sport viewed by political/ social/ cultural elites?
How did the media shape/ intervene in these debates?
Cheers
