Bar�a, The Inside Story: Storyville
BBC4 : Sun 20 Feb, 21:05 - 22:30 85 mins
"You have to understand that Barcelona is a nation without a state, and Bar�a
is its army." Sir Bobby Robson.
FC Barcelona is the biggest football club in the world, with 102,000
shareholder members all having seats at the Nou Camp, the biggest stadium in
Europe, and the right to elect the Club President - a dream job for thousands
of ambitious, patriotic Catalans.
Poor performances and a debt of 200million euros led to a crisis for the club
in 2003, the worst in its 100-year history. But, with the aim of root and
branch reform, a new regime was ushered in under the leadership of the
charismatic Joan Laporta.
With unprecedented and exclusive access, Bar�a: The Inside Story spends a year
at the Nou Camp documenting the new board's efforts to turn itself around from
a record debt and change from an old fashioned Catalan family affair into a
global football business.
