The brief

Most firms do football law on the side. They only do football law. The catch: the fans who need them don’t know they exist, until it’s too late.

Football Law Associates only does one thing: football law. Banning orders, match-day arrests, prosecutions for an online post or a chant. While most criminal firms treat it as a side line.

That specialism is the whole advantage. The problem is reach. A scared fan Googling at 1am has never heard of them, and generalist firms outrank them in search.

So we built a different top of the funnel. Short-form video that names the scary thing in the first second, hands the fan plain English, and points them somewhere that can actually help.

What we did

We didn’t just post videos. We built the engine.

01

Hook-first, not lawyer-first

Every video opens by naming the scary reality most fans don’t know, “you don’t need a conviction to be banned for ten years”, then Rob walks and talks the story at the stadium. Lo-fi phone and Osmo, not a studio.

02

Real cases, plain English

Each video is a real case from Rob’s caseload, with the legal jargon (FBO, Section 14, affray) translated the moment it’s used. Authority, not waffle.

03

Three a week, five platforms

TikTok-led, repurposed to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X, with posting times locked to when football fans actually scroll. One shoot becomes around fifty posts.

04

Video into search

Every transcript is rewritten into an SEO blog post on football-law.co.uk, so the same content that goes viral also ranks for “football banning order” when a fan searches.

05

Zero ad spend

No paid reach, deliberately. The whole engine runs on organic video and search, because attention at this scale has been impossible to buy.

“Then it took off.”

The voice we built

The lines that stopped the scroll.

“You don’t need a conviction to be banned from football for ten years.”

On banning orders

“Your club won’t defend you. We will.”

The positioning

“A photo or a chant on your phone can now get you banned from football.”

On online posts

“Bodycam caught the officer laughing, right after he said he feared for his life.”

On a real case

“2,300 fans branded thugs and told to hand over their passports.”

Why it matters

When the expertise is genuinely specialist, the marketing rarely keeps up. We take a real expert, find the one scary thing their audience doesn’t know, and turn it into video that travels, then into search rankings and real enquiries. No ad spend. Football Law is the proof.
