The stated aim of the author of this short book is, ‘to provide an insight into how changes in football and football clubs, both economically and socially, have altered the relationship between clubs and their changing communities’. He does this in order to address a bigger question. In the face of increasing commercialisation, can football remain ‘the people’s game’?
