This book is an investigation into the identifications and stories
told by football supporters about some ill-defined entity called
'Europe'. The core aim is to consider whether the experiences of
football fandom (and the ways in which these are recounted) may be
developing identifications with Europe and whether this may
legitimate the EU or assist in reducing intra-European xenophobia.
So, the book is concerned with the consumption of football in
English and European competitions, with more than one eye on fan
perceptions of transnational developments in the sport and its
possible socio- political resonance. The research is also centrally
interested in the development of European identities, particularly
in respect to the way 'Europe' is consumed. It is concerned with
the tensions of discourses which, on the one hand, present Europe
as abstract and almost ill-definable and, on the other, with a
Europe situated within 'everyday' and lived practices.
