Adrian Goldberg founded Britain's first national football fanzine Off The Ball in 1985. Now he's back with a fan's eye view of the modern game. There'll be a film documentary too, so stay tuned.
What's the meaning of football without live spectators? And how much is the experience of being in a crowd part of the joy of the game? Adrian and John are joined by Jon Berry, a Birmingham City sufferer and the author of two ace books, Hugging Strangers and Project Restart (both published by Pitch). Presented by Adrian Goldberg and John Nicholson Produced by Adrian Goldberg.
