Working on a new edition for Reading the Game (RTG) again. I have been looking at lots of club histories of rural and suburban footy clubs. Very often they are a chronological arranged series of summaries of club highlights and milestones, with a brief account of the club's origins. Newspaper reports are the main source usually, and are often reproduced in voluminous quantities. Being amateur publications they usually lack a narrative structure and theme, but they serve a purpose for their communities, and are very useful as a record of events and personalities which have shaped the clubs.

The cost of supporting your football team is ridiculous these days, especially for the truly dedicated fan and it really is no surprise to me when you see empty seats at a match. For starters, there's the cost of your ticket. For lower division sides this isn't as much of an issue but to watch Championship and Premier League football, fans have to pay over the odds in my opinion. Leave a Reply. |
