Intergenerational (In) Securities in English Football Fandom: Locality, Loyalty and Legacy
The article advances scholarship on intergenerational space, insecurity and risk, by examining the ongoing transformation of English football fandom as an apposite case study of the emergent uncertainties, and distrust in the generational timescape of British society. Despite significant changes in the finances, infrastructure and scale of the national sport over the past four decades, football stadia remain a key focal point for fan communities …
Contesting social housing demolition through community co-design: The Alton Estate’s People’s Plan
In recent decades, many social housing estates in London have been demolished and replaced by mixed-tenure developments. These schemes have been strongly contested by residents and campaigns, who argue that the schemes produce displacement, loss of social connections, and loss of socially rented homes. These alliances of residents and campaigners occasionally include researchers. This paper explores how co-design and participatory action research…
The moral economy of the English football crowd: The European Super League and the contingency of football fan activism
On 18 April 2021, six of the most storied clubs in English football – Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur – announced they would be joining a new breakaway European Super League. These proposals triggered vehement opposition from football fans, which catalysed the intervention of the UK government in the form of a fan-led review of football governance. The reaction to the European Super League – w…
From fanzines to foodbanks: Football fan activism in the age of anti-politics
This article is concerned with an emerging trend in political participation: the role played by football fans in engendering activism and protest. The role of fan activism in the debate on patterns of civic and political (dis)engagement - in the age of so-called anti-politics - has been ignored by the scholarly literature thus far. As a corrective, this article examines the development of football fan activism over the last thirty years, since th…
Football Remembers’ — the Collective Memory of Football in the Spectacle of British Military Commemoration
This article examines two major rituals of contemporary national life in the UK: association football and military commemoration. It explores the ways in which remembering is enacted and performed within UK football and how these processes are related to issues of power, agency and identity in Britain today. Employing the concepts of collective memory and spectacle, this article argues that ‘memory entrepreneurs’ have sought to embed football as …
The civil service’s gender diversity agenda under the coalition: Where have the critical feminist actors gone
This article examines the patterns of gender representation in the UK Civil Service to interrogate the claim that there was a regressive change in the proportion of women in the most senior grades of Whitehall under the UK Coalition Government (2010–2015). It does so by analysing both quantitative data covering civil service employment patterns during the Coalition years, complemented by new, primary qualitative data drawn from interviews conduct…
Property and the State or ‘The Folly of Torrens: A Comparative Perspective
Australian lawyers often extol the virtues of the Torrens system as a means to secure property in land. Yet, the comparative evidence of benefits is mixed and context-dependent, particularly in terms of the nature, provenance and capacity of the state. This article analyses ways in which positivist land laws, including Torrens systems of title by registration, create legal understandings of property that are tied closely to projections or assumpt…

The politics of football in an era of regulatory ‘crisis’: The last bastion of ‘club-regulation’
The financial crisis that hit the UK in 2008 brought the debate on regulation into sharp relief. For many, it marked the end of one of the last vestiges of ‘club regulation’: an elitist, secretive, informal practice of governance, which privileges self-regulation and cooperation over intervention and sanctioning. This paper examines the governance of football in this era of regulatory crisis. In particular, it examines why the domain of football …
Rules of Possession Revisited: Property and the Problem of Social Order
This article explores two propositions in the literature on rules of possession. The first is that rules of first possession may form the basis for “spontaneous order.” The article argues that this Hayekian proposition must take into account the relationship between property and authority, including the potential for social disorder when competition for possession combines with competition for public authority. The second is that simple rules of …
