“…To be most beneficial, leisure–befriending relationships involving adults with learning disabilities need to develop from casual to more serious leisure activities (i.e., Patterson & Pegg, ; Southby, ) and from “professional” to”friendship”‐orientated relationships (i.e., Fillary & Pernice, ). This could help achieve a better balance between access to both serious and casual leisure that, according to the “serious leisure perspective” (Stebbins, ), is needed for a good personal and social life.…”

“…Written from a 'reflexive practitioner perspective' (Sense, 2006: 2), this article explores the experience of conducting participatory research as a research-degree student. I examine my own experience as a doctoral student setting off to conduct a piece of participatory research to explore the potential for Association Football (football) fandom to be a route for social inclusion for people with a learning disability in the UK (Southby, 2013).
