Theatre of Silence: The Lost Soul of Football - Softcover
They used to call it the people's game - but not anymore. In this insightful, witty and ultimately damning look at modern football culture, lifelong fan Matthew Bazell asks why no one's singing anymore. In a uniquely personal journey, Bazell examines the way in which football, both on and off the field, has changed since the formation of the Premier League, and looks at the passive consumerism thrust upon fans. Does the modern follower pay too high a price for the spectacle of seeing over-paid world superstars in comfy all-seater stadiums, whose very name can be sold to the highest bidder? If so, can anything be done to reclaim the game? While it's easy to take a rose tinted view of football's past, Bazell argues that the heart and soul of the game needn't be left behind, and shows us that ultimate power may still lie with the fans...
