More kind words about my book today, this time from Adrian Goldberg of Byline Times

"Not just a great read about how supporters have been made to feel like outsiders in their own sport; but an urgent call for nothing short of a football revolution"

Adrian's book "Where's the Money Gone: The Battle for the Soul of English Football" was an inspiration during the research and writing process.

Hopefully my book builds successfully on what he and others have written in the past.

Looking forward to the Festival of Fan Activism on Saturday, organised by FC Community who were kind enough to invite me to speak.

My bit is about the tension between supporters and the boardroom and what power we have for activism in the game.

Hoping to offer some insight which complements the experiences of those from supporter-owned clubs in Italy and Germany, and author Daniel Fieldsend.

Also looking forward to the other panels about activism in the community, in the women's game and for inclusion in football.

Get your tickets here, see you there!

One day in Liverpool. Football that does good, and a night on the waterfront. Come and be part of it.

Title of course inspired by the wonderful WeAre1894 banner produced for the 2025 ticket price protests at City.

Never seen a better summation of what it means and how it feels to be a football supporter. If you know, you know.

I wrote a story for this month's The Big Issue - 'Boycott the World Cup? There are better ways to show fan power'.

It's about the tension supporters face when World Cup Fever hits, but the reality of Trump's miserable America looms over proceedings. Where does that leave supporters who just want to follow the game they love?

Get yourself a copy of the Big Issue to see how football is still an unstoppable force for good despite everything - and how you can help make sure it stays that way.

Was pleased to speak to Nicholas McGeehan of FairSquare as part of the writing process. The insights he gave on the human rights aspects and how FIFA works enriched the story and will give readers something to think about.

Buy the Big Issue and see!!!!
