Football's Physical and Virtual Spaces


We are once again proud to announce our involvement with the York Festival of Ideas, this year with guest speaker Rob Nichols.

From the archaeology of football grounds involving community engagement to giving walking tours of historic football sites, to editing and hosting Middlesbrough FCs fanzine and internet chat forum, Robert Nichols reflects on his work championing the people’s game.

Join Robert in conversation with the University of York’s Soccer-Mad Boffins Alex Gillett and Kevin Tennent, as they examine football’s places and spaces and look ahead to this year’s FIFA World Cup.

  • Date and time:Saturday 6 June 2026, 3.15pm to 4.15pm
  • In-person only:
    Law and Sociology Building, Campus East, University of York (Map)
As our events are usually very well attended we strongly recommend reserve a place in advance by booking your ticket here.
