Substance is undertaking a year-long research project commissioned by Supporters Direct about the social and community ‘value’ of football clubs. This landmark piece of research runs from September 2008 to August 2009 and will investigate different ways in which we can value football clubs and explore the advantages of supporter ownership models for maximising the social value of clubs.

This website provides a description of, and information about, the research project as it develops.

But more importantly it provides an opportunity for you to interact with the project, with facilities for you to download working papers, comment on them and access research findings.
