Off the Pitch (Image of female Rangers supporter with young female Celtic supporter)

A cross-community group of women from the Catholic Springhill and the Protestant Shankill districts in Belfast conducted their own research into rival Northern Ireland Celtic and Rangers supporters. Travelling to matches and recording their experiences off the pitch, the women set out to discover if the football supporters were mirror images of each other. This is the story of their journey of discovery. On the way they faced their fears and there were surprising results!
