The intention of the book is to highlight the development of a type
of football organisation that falls outside of the well documented
elite professional game, the most recognizable face of the sport.
Specifically, the focus here will fall upon community based
football clubs which have grown out of the grassroots game. Well
known examples of these clubs in Britain are the Bristol
organisation, Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls, and the Leeds based
Republica Internationale - both of these clubs have forged links
with similarly motivated organisations in other countries who
regularly come together in tournaments to express solidarity.
Collectively, these clubs have sometimes been referred to as
forming a 'DIY culture' in football. Their defining characteristics
being variously described as anti-commercial, democratically
constituted, advocating social responsibility and inclusiveness,
and holding an outlook of solidarity that, in some cases, involves
political education. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Sport in Society.
