    Abstract:

    Since the Taylor Report of 1990 many football clubs in Britain have opted to relocate rather than reconstruct their existing stadia. Utilising case studies undertaken by postgraduate students in the De Montfort International Centre for Sports History and Culture, this article examines how fans have been treated by the clubs when such moves were being discussed. The conclusion that generally their interests have not been considered fits the historical pattern of relationships between clubs and their supporters. It is predicted that the situation will worsen both as the revenue from the Electronic Turnstile becomes more important then gate-money and as city financiers increasingly gain power and influence on club boards. The article concludes with an analysis of ways that fans can fight back. Few think that the US franchise system, where teams are bought and sold like any other commodity, will take hold in Britain. The fans won’t stand for it, they say. But in America, with TV and merchan-dising bankrolling sports, owners don’t have to listen to them (Connett & Thomas, 1996)
