Focusing on young people aged between 14-18, the project was designed to engage with three current debates around football in the UK. First, the rising cost of watching live football and the extent to which many groups primary engagement is now through media. Second, the place of football clubs within local communities as the growing dominance of the Premier League means less attention is given to local and grassroots football. Third, the relationship between young people and professional footballers, with recent media reports arguing that the latter are key role models in the contemporary era.
