Life as a female supporter
Here is a great read from Stand:AMF about sexism on the terrace. Natasha Bougourd writes about the life as a female supporter and the way she is always treated differently just because she’s got a different gender. A better way for football is a football world which is inclusive and non-judgemental so this is an extremely important topic IMO.
AFC Wimbledon vs MK Dons
Here is a great video about fan-owned AFC Wimbledon and their first match against MK Dons (formerly known as Wimbledon FC):
“It’s nice to know the trick that football has played on all the fans is to make you think that results are everything that matters. You know, when you get relegation, worse that can happen! That’s Nonsense! The worst that can happen is your football club gets taken away from you by someone who doesn’t understand the game. Well, we’re the antithesis to that ’cause we have started over and everything we do is all about us” – AFC Wimbledon fan
Partizan Minsk – another self-managed football club
Here is a bit of information about a club in Belarus called Partizan Minsk. You can also read more on their website if you speak russian 🙂
“In Belarus there is a very special club. Until 2010 it was called MTZ-Ripo. The club gained international attention not so much by his sporting achievements, but also by the anti-racist commitment of its fans and an active anti-fascist fan culture that was and is unique in Eastern Europe. Today the name of the club is Partizan Minsk and it is a self-managed football club.”
Another article about Partizan Minsk is found here in Belarus Digest. FC United is also mentioned in the article 🙂
