Hi all,
I am currently in my final year at Sussex Uni across the road from the Amex, and I am studying BHAFC fans, their identity as Albion fans, and the impact that geography (ie, where fans live/work/travel/socialise) has on 'fandom'. That might sound a bit confusing, but the point of the work is to investigate whether football 'fandom' is changing from more traditional ideas to modern, flexible ideas of what being a 'fan' is. I'm sure there is a wealth of differing opinions from all ages, gender, ethnic backgrounds etc and I will be only too happy to read or use them if any of you feel the urge to reply on here! Alternatively, if you feel you are really interested in the topic and/or would be able to contribute to the research in ANY way then feel free to get in touch with me on here and we can go from there.
All going to plan, the intention is to raise wider awareness (at the club/ The FA) about changing and different types/groups of fans and how bloody important it is to accomadate to fans and their needs individually when it is required.
SO, the point of this post then is to:
A) advertise again, to all fans, this survey (which some of you might have seen/done previously on NSC, with thanks to a fellow BHAFC fan on here):
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tPhA9ZB6nNWda5kAg5rBKdzPG7k_13lxXpcwaUcbsB4/viewform?embedded=true
Only takes a few minutes!
and
B) appeal to younger fans in an age-group similar to mine (18-25) to complete the above survey but also to gauge interest in taking part in short, informal interviews for my work? I'll be honest, there's not much in it for you except a pint and the knowledge you've helped out a fellow fan! I am interested in finding out about fans who live in Brighton and Hove, or surrounding areas.
Cheers!
