What happens when a football club ups sticks and leaves its
traditional home for pastures new? What replaces the terraces,
stands and floodlights that tower above old town centres and
terraced streets? How does football relate to the new landscapes
that the clubs head to? What happens when football leaves home?
When the Circus Leaves Town: What Happens When Football Leaves Home
explores the impact of the ruptures created when clubs and
supporters wave goodbye to their homes. It examines disruption to
matchday routines, erasure of geographic memories and the
difficulties in repairing these, and considers whether such moves
have been for better or worse. Writer Dave Proudlove walks the
streets of towns and cities across the country visiting housing
estates, retail parks and shiny new stadiums. He talks to those
involved with the relocation of football clubs - club officials,
developers, politicians, fans - to understand the reasons behind
the upheaval, and to bring us the full story of what happens when
football leaves home.
