Ingerland Expects: Football, national identity and world cup 2002

Article

Eleven pioneering policy proposals which outline how football fans could become ambassadors for football and England, both at home and away. This is available from Central Books and in the June issue of 442.

England is a football nation in search of ways to celebrate pride without prejudice. At the World Cup the team will represent England on the pitch and the fans will do the same in the stands and in the streets. Football has a responsibility for the state of the English national identity.

Ingerland Expects explores an England fan culture with the potential to be inclusive and internationalist without losing any of its reputation for passion and commitment.
