The Price of Football live podcast to support Brighton and Hove Samaritans

The twice-weekly popular podcast is hosted by Kieran Maguire, football finance expert at Liverpool University, alongside comedian and writer of shows such as “Have I Got News for You”, Kevin Day, and focuses on the business side of football and how finance impacts the game.

The podcast came about on the back Maguire’s book “The Price of Football,” shining a light on the machinations of sponsorship, TV rights, ground maintenance and everything that constitutes the modern game. In November 2019, the podcast was nominated for the 2019 Football Supporters Federation Online Media of the Year Award. To date the podcast has had over fifteen million downloads.

They have a unique on-air chemistry and rivalrous banter which is further enhanced by Kieran being a lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion supporter and Kevin being a die-hard Crystal Palace fan.

Football fans can be a part of this live event knowing that all proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the local branch of Samaritans ensuring they continue in providing their vial service.

Tickets: £23
