#KLUpod | The State of It: Ansan Greeners + The History of Football in Ansan

The latest episode of The K League United Podcast turns its attention to Ansan and The Wa~ Stadium, where we take an in-depth look at the history of football in the city up to present day, where Ansan Greeners find themselves once again at the wrong end of the table. However, is their optimism to be had?

Matthew Binns welcomes Mike Brandon to the podcast this week to talk about his time following football in Ansan from 2008. Mike takes on a journey through the Ansan Hallelujah years, the Police period and right up to the current Greeners era.

Along the way, Mike touches on the joys of following a National League club, wrestling with supporters identity when a team moves, how to support a team designed for military service and also the time forgotten when Park Ji-sung managed an all-star South Korea side in one of the Wa~ Stadium's biggest attendances.

The second-half of the podcast looks at the formation of Ansan Greeners, their initial promise and the position they find themselves in now, plus a look at the citizen clubs they should consider modelling themselves on if they are to turn their fortunes around.

All this and more on The K League United Podcast.
