- This monograph is the culmination of 10 years of research in the area of female sports fans. It is 268 pages and 115,000 words long. Extensive original data was collected and analysed, with Pope drawing on 85 in-depth interviews with female fans of two sports (men’s football and rugby union). This led to the production of four empirically based results chapters. The research was particularly complex, involving the analysis of a huge volume of qualitative data, an extensive literature review and the development of a new framework for the analysis of female sports fandom; the feminization of sports fandom thesis.
