Synopsis

This account of the role of organized supporters in the development and economy of English professional football during its first 100 years explores the significance of the supporters' financial contribution - over and above turnstile cash - to the physical development and amenities of football grounds. It also traces the failed relationship between those who watch the game and those who run it - for, despite substantial fund-raising feats and their efforts to draw themselves closer to their football clubs, the game's followers have never become significantly involved in its administration. Against this background arose the modern form of football hooliganism, and its consequences.
