This chapter explores how the transformation of English football culture since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992 has marginalised communities of working-class football supporters. Using Laurajane Smith’s concept of the Authorised Heritage Discourse (AHD), I will argue that football’s governing elites have been able to exercise hegemonic power over the game, in part due to their successful establishment of a Football Authorised Heritage Discourse—or FAHD. This discourse has worked to strip football of its historic referents to place and class, marginalising the experiences of so-called traditional supporters who have historically attached themselves to the game. In turn, I will draw on oral history testimony collected during my PhD research with Newcastle United supporters. I will show how communities of so-called traditional supporters have resisted the imposition of this FAHD by constructing, articulating and imposing their own interpretations of football culture and their place within it. Crucially, I will highlight how the centrality of issues of ‘authenticity’ and ‘ownership’ to these fan-led resistance movements risks reproducing the marginalisation of the FAHD, creating a zero-sum conflict centred on two competing ownership claims over the game, its fan communities and its culture.
