On the 19 June 2013, The Spirit of Shankly movement arranged for some 400 football fans from clubs across the British Isles to put aside rivalry and battle a common enemy. The Premier League. Recorded in the direct aftermath, The Fighting Cock podcast returns for this two part special on modern football.

With usual host Flav are Seb White of the brilliant STAND Against Modern Football, Amanda Jacks of the irreplaceable Football Supporters Federation, and Martin Cloake (martincloake.com), Journalist and Author of The Glory Glory Nights – essential reading for all Tottenham fans.

In part 1, we go through in detail what football was before the Premier League, unearthing some of the reasons why, for better or worse, changes took place in the game. We then delve into where the game is now and what frustrations led to the march on the Premier League Offices.

In part 2, we talk about the role of the Football Supporters Federation and why all fans need to know how and when to contact them. We also find out how you can fight back against the erosion and mutation of the match day fan, in an attempt to improve the football experience for all supporters, not just those that can afford extortionate ticket prices.
