Football fans are the lifeline of their clubs – but more people than ever before find it difficult to see their team play in person due to ticket price increases. With the 24/25 season well underway and a number of Premier League teams reducing or eliminating concession fares, the VERSUS team breaks down why the big business aspect of football is ruining the spirit of the game. We also look at growing trend of Black players being mocked for self-expression, speak about Chelsea’s decision to stop on-pitch signing sessions at the end of their women’s games, and pay respect to Alex Morgan at the end of an illustrious career. ‘The Future of Football’ is a podcast from VERSUS bringing you closer to the people, the stories and the ideas shaping the future of the game we love.
