| Summary/Abstract |
This paper argues that ‘doing’ football – as in playing, watching, talking about – constitutes a social field that cuts across otherwise racially coded urban landscapes. Where most work on fan cultures explore social practices and rituals inside that sacred space, the stadium, the focus here is on the interweaving of ‘doing football’ with the wider socio-cultural fabric incorporating neighbourhood spaces and stadiums. Expanding on Les Back’s notion of localised cultural spaces, oral histories of black Millwall fans will be used to critically engage with the popular perception of Millwall as a ‘racist club’. It is argued that the use of racial markers at The Den is used to target the opposition, whereas black Millwall supporters are accepted as contingent insiders.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on fieldwork carried out in an urban neighbourhood in south-east England, and using a life-story methodology with a focus on intergenerational change over time, I will analyse the housing outcomes of three ethnic categories - the White British majority population, the British-Italian minority and the British-Pakistani minority. Both minority populations are characterised by early moves into owner-occupancy. But where British-Italians typically have moved 'up and out', there has been a British-Pakistani residential consolidation in a 'comfort zone' where overlaying spheres of community and neighbourhood, underpinned by localised practices of cultural consumption, eventually have come to constitute a spatial and social habitus. Though policy discourse often perceives such practices as indicative of self-segregation, I will here argue that there are similarities between the British-Pakistani comfort zone and the memories of a neighbourhood-based white working-class community, articulated by White British residents.
