Summary

Using Kevin's recent university thesis as a starting point, Dale and Stephen join the author to discuss the current state of Thai football, its perception amongst local fans, what clubs, the FA, and the league can do to attract more people to matches, and various ways to improve the overall experience; we have reports from three of last weekend's League Cup ties - Chonburi fan, Tim goes "undercover" at Pattaya Utd v Bangkok Utd and is surprised at what he sees and hears, Riza travels all the way down to Pattani to watch Ratchaburi at the Rainbow Stadium, and a tired and emotional Dom is on hand to witness Port put their Chainat hoodoo to bed; finally Muang Thong Utd fans Gian and Greg share their thoughts on Mario Ivankovic, the Kirins' new coach.
