Welcome to the High Rd Academy. Who are ya?

Bloke studies [bloke as other]. The beautiful spectra. Generations passing down chants and passing pints. Collective belonging, collective consciousness, collective potential. Pack mentality underpinned by a belly of lager and unrealised dreams: leave your doubts at home and collect your badge at the turnstile.

The potent emotions and loyalties of football, it’s invisible but inherent powers which bind supporters through whole lifespans, display the spectrum of manhood framed in club colours. There is a sleeping responsibility which, if harnessed by the populace of the stadia, can be wielded as a catalyst to change the world.
