92. Fan Friendships, Fan Identities
We're joined by Bundesliga journalist, author and founder of the Dortmund Fan Club London Ben McFadyean to discuss fan friendships and how this plays into fan identity. Most fan friendships are the alliances we see formed by different ultras groups. But fan friendships in football extend well beyond our most zealous fans, and the connections we make with each other are often underappreciated. However, each connections has its reason, and those reasons are tied to our identities as football fans.
