Collective Expression Of Football Support

Football support traditionally expresses itself in social settings. During matches, it is an emotional experience shared with others. (Brown, Crabbe and Mellor, 2009). The collective expression of support for a team, often involves singing, jumping, gesturing, and often wearing scarfs, hats or shirts with its colours. While it is possible to keep support for a team a private matter, outside match days, "true" fans make a point of displaying their loyalty when interacting with others in special contexts of everyday life,
