Follr is constantly looking to add top quality sports content from fans, teams and commentators. Fan (user) generated content is particularly popular – we will be making many more announcements over the next few weeks about new content we will be adding. All of the Guardian Football video content is now automatically added to supporters club Websites on the Follr platform.
Here is an example, a behind the scenes video of a Birmingham City Football Club derby. Note, the video contains strong language.
