When it comes to eccentric, iconic, long-serving and occasionally cranky legendary managers, Scotland has Jim McLean and England has Brian Clough. Both of those names come up as Adam is joined by a Dundee United supporter and a Nottingham Forest fan. Alistair Heather is a documentary host, columnist and Scots language advocate, who's spent the last year co-hosting Dundee United TV. On his second Old Firm Facts podcast appearance, he discusses his 'bromance' with a Tannadice legend, how he put his feelings about Fifers aside to get behind Tam Courts, why United's boss deserves credit for his anti-racism stance against Ross County, phallic referees, his conflicting emotions upon meeting Prince Charles, why he understands Weegies being reluctant to embrace Scots and how Darren Mackie became a 'reading champion' without reading. Author and journalist Daniel Storey is Chief Football Writer for the i newspaper, and won the Football Supporters Federation's Football Writer of the Year award in 2016. He talks about what other clubs can learn from Motherwell, a 'punk rock football club' in Paris, his book on football icons, the moral dilemma facing Newcastle fans, how Messi reignited his mum's love of football, an infamous Andy Cole interview and a heartwarming moment involving Clough. Adam puts questions to Twitter from his guests, debunks a myth involving Ally McCoist, Neil Lennon, Ronaldinho and some allegedly 'hilarious' Scottish football stories, reliving a classic Scottish football Q&A and sharing some in-depth analysis from Scott Brown. Adam and Ally also discuss a campaign they're involved in addressing male sexual entitlement, and why men need to look in the mirror and address their own behaviour.

Tom has gone to his old hometown, London, where he in this week’s podcast talks to Football Supporters Federation and Supporters Direct. The two organizations work for fan rights on different levels. And they’re highly needed. SD helps fans combatting horrible club owners that don’t care what is good for fans, club and community. One of them being Coventry City owned by a shady consortium no one really know who is. FSF help fans being persecuted by clubs and authorities - for instance you can go to prison for being drunk in a football ground. Probably good that law doesn’t exist in Denmark…
Tom er i denne uge taget til sin gamle hjemby, London. Her taler han med Football Supporters Federation og Supporters Direct. De to organisationer arbejder med fanrettigheder på forskellige niveauer - og der er i den grad brug for dem. Supporters Direct hjælper fans med at kæmpe mod umuliusser af klubejere, der skider højt og flot på, hvad fans og lokalsamfund ønsker for deres klub. Senest kæmper de for Coventry City, hvis ejerkreds er en skummel kapitalfond, som ingen ved, hvem egentlig ejer. Football Supporters Federation hjælper fans, der bliver jagtet for hårdt af myndigheder og klubber - eksempelvis kan man i England få en fængselsdom for at være beruset på stadion. Heldigt for os i Danmark, at den lov ikke findes her…
Shrewsbury Town have become the first English club to apply to bring back safe standing. They are wanting to replace around 500 seats with rail seating. Merseyside's Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram told Mick Coyle the idea could work, if it was tightly controlled. You can hear from Steve and also from Roy Bentham, Spirit of Shankly and the Football Supporters Federation, who is in favour of safe standing.
Chelsea Supporters' Trust held their second Special General Meeting of the season after the Swansea City match. The SGMs are a good chance to report back to the membership, in person on progress with the issues we are mandated to pursue and have a face to face dialogue with the members. Held in a venue new to us, The Lillie Langtry Pub we were well looked after and a decent turnout from the membership were updated on issues such as the Membership Survey and the move to a Temporary Stadium. In addition, board members reported back on initiatives such as 'Kick-Off Times'; the Stamford Bridge Redevelopment; work on improving the atmosphere at the Bridge; work with Supporters Direct, The Football Supporters Federation and with fellow Premier League Trusts and work with the Overseas Membership. Cliff Auger formerly announced our work towards the commemoration of 'Founder's Day' at the Brompton Cemetery and our continued work helping to clean up Chelsea related graves at the cemetery.

He’s also a Bengali Muslim. Flav is joined by James in the absence of Matt. We talk to Anwar about his experiences as a pro footballer from an ethnic minority. He cut his teeth at West Ham during one of the greatest generation of youth players ever seen. He shared the dressing room with Ian Wright, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick, Leon Britton, and Frank Lampard. It wasn't always easy, but Uddin was a big part of the atmosphere at the club and has amazing stories to tell. Oh and there's the usual stories of horrendous injuries that will turn your stomach...

We're joined by Amanda Jacks, a case worker for the Football Supporters Federation. She works with football fans who have been arrested or mistreated at football matches to ensure that supporters are treated as people rather than criminals. We talk about the damaging culture of football fans in that they accept the way they're treated, and how some fans court controversy as a two fingered gesture at what the game has become. We also touch upon the fascinating Joey Barton issue as he sits through his three week ban at Rangers. Matt is on holiday so we're joined by Ball Street co-founder Stuart, a worthy substitute. We'll see you at the far post. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brentford CEO Mark Devlin believes that many clubs are charging fans too much money in the Championship. Talking on the Beesotted weekly podcast, Devlin said he feels that £30 is the maximum price any fan should have to pay for a ticket in The Championship and is looking to bring this point up with the Football League in due course. Norwich and Leeds recently announced prices of £35 and £34 respectively for away fans tickets for the visit of 'little olde Brentford'. Needless to say, this caused a bit of a stir. Social media was alight with fans complaining they felt forced into making a decision to attend one or both games due to what was perceived by some as ludicrous prices. These tweets summed up the feeling of resentment of fans having to fork out huge sums - particularly so soon after Christmas. "Me mate - not paying that amount of money at Norwich for me and my boy.. its a £150 round trip" "Was in two minds about both trips for me and my two boys. The ticket prices made my mind up for me." "It's the cost of travelling as well - It all adds up - I know 5 lads who have season tickets that won't be going" Strangely, some Norwich fans seemed to condone the idea of charging fellow football fans as much as possible which also sparked a debate in the studio. "So long as the stadium is full, I say charge as much as possible." "You don't have to go" "Don't like it, don't come. Someone else will have the ticket" Devlin questioned certain tactics employed by some clubs to extract the most money out of fans. Moving away fans to the most expensive part of the ground is one example - something Leeds have unfortunately been guilty of. And when asked - how is it some clubs can justify charging £35 when clubs like Brentford and Bournemouth charge £10 less and are currently have as much or even more success on the pitch? - his reply was "Other clubs obviously have different systems to us". Check out the Beesotted podcast this week where we discuss at length ticket prices ... and ask the question ... are Brentford fans just naive to the fact that as football teams get more success, their fans get charged more cash? Or are some clubs chancing their arm by passing off exorbitant (and quite often un-necessary) costs off onto fans. We interview Mark Devlin - Brentford CEO - and Michael Brunskill - Director of Communications at the Football Supporters Federation - about their thoughts on £35 championship tickets, reciprocal pricing (where each team charges the opposing side's fans the same amount for away fans) and the need for fans to keep vocal about unfair pricing. We also talk to a number of fans on what they think of the price of football and what figure they think is fair to charge to watch Championship football. 0 mins start 1 min 22 secs - Fans give their opinion on high ticket prices 9 min 06 secs - Mark Devlin interview 26 min 54 secs - Studio debate on ticket prices including Michael Brunskill (Football Supporters Federation), Billy Grant, Dave Lane and Nick Carthew (Beesotted)

Discrimination in football is an ugly truth. Whether or not your choose to accept or acknowledge its existence, it’s there, and it needs to be tackled head on. Inclusion in football, no matter the club, is something we’re extremely passionate about, and rather than spend time discussing the matter between ourselves, we decided to discuss the matter openly with some special guests. Branching out and using a professional recording studio to conduct the interviews, we spoke to the following people: Troy Townsend - Education and Development Manager for KickItOut. Louise Englefield - Director of Football Vs Homophobia. Anwar Uddin - Diversity and Campaigns Manager for the Football Supporters’ Federation. Simon Kuper - Financial Times Journalist and author. We asked no leading questions, and we advised our guests of no prior agendas. What you hear is exactly what we asked, unedited and honest. Thank you to each and every one of them for taking part. Together, we can make football a more welcome environment for... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
