While recent years have seen the emergence of a significant body of research on LGBT inclusion in sport, little is known about LGBT fans. This book provides the first in-depth examination of LGBT football fansā€™ experiences and sense of place in the contemporary English game.

Drawing on almost 100 semi-structured interviews with LGBT fans, it explores several important findings, including how these fans represent ā€˜authenticā€™ notions of fandom, the emergence of LGBT Fan Groups, improved stadium environment for LGBT fans, LGBT-themed chanting and the role of governing bodies and professional football clubs. The research presented in this book extends current theorising of under-represented groups of sports fans.

This is fascinating and important reading for those with an interest in the sociology of sport, sports fandom, gender and sexuality.
