Football is Better with Fans : Devotion and Emotion, Cheers and Beers Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Football stadiums are supposed to be packed with cheering fans.

It was that way for more than 100 years until the coronavirus pandemic changed all our lives.

Football managed to struggle on at some levels but without crowds - just cardboard cut-outs and fake noise instead.

There was even a half measure for a while with a couple of thousand spectators allowed in.

A banner at Old Trafford read, 'Football is nothing without fans', but what we discovered is that it isn't nothing, it's just better with fans there.

Filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, opinions and social media comments, Football is Better with Fans explores what it means to be a supporter.

It's a light-hearted and highly dippable look at the lives of loyal fans, the fun and games they've enjoyed, their songs, banter, commitment, tattoos and traditions.

The book doesn't shy away from tragedies, hooliganism or racism, but mainly it's a joyful celebration of football fandom and how we all survived when we couldn't go to games.
