On the oche
This paper examines sports fandom through the lens of women’s spectatorship and consumption at darts tournaments. We explore the extent to which nostalgic discourse has value for sports broadcasting in recreating a ‘hyper-version’ of a traditional public house at live darts events, and in what ways this is experienced and negotiated by women darts fans. The narrative of nostalgia underpins this analysis of women’s consumption of darts, and more b…
Auditory and visual sensory modalities in the velodrome and the practice of becoming a track cyclist
The aim of this paper is to explore track cycling through visual and aural sensory modalities. We draw on Pink's work on emplacement and of the researcher serving an apprenticeship by engaging through first-hand experience and learning track practices and routines in which we reflected on our visual and aural senses to account for understanding the body and the transformations it undergoes when riding track. This speaks to Hockey and Allen-Collin…

Female football players
In this paper, I examine the contribution that mixed-sex football can make to the development of female football players. Girls’ choices about participating in physical exercise may be influenced by a number of factors, but I want to address specifically the traditionally ‘masculine’ sport of football to consider the extent to which binary gender is a limited construct. Using a method of narrative interviews for data collection, I draw on the exp…
Kicking against tradition
This article examines friendships and social networks in the context of amateur women’s football. Studies of intimacies and friendships tend to situate women’s same-sex friendships around emotional support. The aim of this research seeks to account for more depth in understanding diversity in female friendships. The traditionally masculine (football) environment is peculiarly distinctive because it contrasts with traditional spaces found in priva…
Female football players in England
This paper will examine the ways in which female football players negotiate and contest gender conventions practised in English football. I look at female participation through the application of Bhabha's 'third-space' thesis, and argue that Bhabha's work has utility in the context of this case study for understanding complexities and nuances ordinarily ignored by gendered discourse performed in English football culture. I utilize semi-structured…
