    Football Dissertation Survey

    Hello,

    I'm in my final year of uni and i'm doing a dissertation, focusing on fan opinions on the commercialisation of the premier league. Whether you agree or not, your opinion will be really valuable to my study. It won't take long at all, if you're interested here's the link: https://goo.gl/forms/e9wjKUBQVQVrlhgJ2

    Football is changing and i need your opinion, as fans, whether it is for the good or bad of the game.

    Cheers!

    Hi

    Your survey page states that you're looking for opinions from fans of Premier League clubs...is the survey open to fans of other clubs at lower levels?

      That's my question too. Seems odd to restrict it only to Premier league teams' fans

        Hi

        Yeah the research is based around the premier league, although lower leagues will be discussed throughout my discussion limiting it to the premier league makes it more manageable at this level im at. If you're still keen to have your say, please just choose a pl club you like watching or something like that and then just answer the other questions which relate to the club you actually support.
        Commercialisation isnt just limited to the pl and your answers will still be really valuable.

          So you explicitly ask for people to pollute your data? I'm looking forward to reading the explanation of this in the Methods section of your report.

            It does not pollute the data, the questions within the survey are very broad and very few are team specific. Most team related questions simply identify attachment to your club (loyalty). The research aims to identify what fans think across the board, the decision for it to be premier league teams was simply to condense the research. Although the team selection is limited to the pl does not mean opinions are disregarded if your personal team does not play in that league.

              Hmm, I'm not sure that works. Unless you are arguing that PL fans and non-PL fans see commercialism identically (which is at least at first glance unlikely) they you are going to get a different result if you include non PL fans.

              What I'd do would be to have an additional question about whether your PL team selected is your primary team, and if not who is. Then you could do a quick comparison which would be an interesting counterpoint, without distracting from your (sensible) focus on the PL.

                I totally understand your point. Its a good one.
                The way i want my research to look is fan loyalty and in turn how that is perceived in this modern commercialised era we seem to be experiencing. Although i wrote a team you like watching, it was meant to be an affinity towards. Like I support a pl team and one who plays in the championship, but i'd still have strong views for any topic for either league or team.
                That's a good idea for the sub-question by the way, could be something to look into. I appreciate your comments by the way.

                  Sure, I'm trying to be helpful. But having an affinity to a club and being a supporter of it are very different things. All football fans are likely to have an opinion on commercialism, but where they watch games and where their loyalties lie are going to play a big part in that.

                    I agree with Etienne, but good luck with the survey. I've filled it in (I support a PL club anyway).
