In response to past feedback, I'd like to make clear that my talk is not intended to be uplifting - it's a tale of failure and frustration. If you do see anyone being uplifted by it please do let me know so I can remedy that.

As a few people asked, here's what happened next in Mongolia. We were building a club based on homegrown talent, we'd intended to stay in second tier for a year but suddenly a club refused their place in the Premier League so we were told we had to take it, 14 days before season.

"1312: Among the Ultras, A Journey With the World's Most Extreme Fans" is out today in paperback (with a new chapter...)🏟️🎆⚽️
Well, my book “1312: Among the Ultras” is out in paperback today with @EburyPublishing @PenguinUKBooks. I wrote this book in a completely different world. It originally came out a week before the pandemic shut everything. So much has changed. A thread 1/ penguin.co.uk/books/1116306/…

We weren’t 100% sure what we were doing, but hopefully everyone will find the podcast just as interesting as @paul_c_watson obviously did. Thanks to our first ever guests, @JamesPiotr and @Savsims.

First recording of the @GFA_Football podcast today which was a great excuse to re-read @JamesPiotr's When Friday Comes, one of my all-time favourites. Started making notes of bits I loved and realised I was basically just copying the whole book out by hand.
