Résumé

Drawing on original ethnographic research conducted with fans at all levels, the book explores the tensions between fans as consumers and ‘traditional’ football cultures, arguing that modern football fans can negotiate the discourses of capitalism and tradition operating upon them to enact their own power and identity within football culture.
