Gaining access to the research field has received much academic attention; however, the literature focusing on the changing and/or multiple roles that researchers adopt during fieldwork has at times been oversimplified. The purpose of this paper is to outline the multiple stages of the fieldwork journey, a more reflexive approach to fieldwork and the research process can be attained.,Data were generated from a four-year ethnographic study of the match-day experiences of the fans of Everton Football Club. In total, over 100 hours were spent doing fieldwork observations with an additional 25 semi-structured interviews forming the data set.,This paper argues that researchers should be more critical of their position in the field of their research, and should seek to identify this more clearly in their scholarship. This in turn would enable for more discussions of how each stage of the fieldwork journey affected the scope and overall findings of the research.,This paper provides an alternative framework for ethnographic researchers to better recognise and acknowledge reflexivity throughout the research process. This is done by outlining the various stages of fieldwork engagement more clearly to better understand how researchers change and adapt to the research environment.

传递与移动：在足球迷研究中谈判实地工作角色

进入研究领域已经引起了很多学术关注。然而，有关研究人员在田野调查中所扮演的角色的变化和/或多重角色的文献有时被过分简化了。本文的目的是概述实地考察过程的多个阶段，可以提供一种更具反思性的实地考察方法，并可以进行研究过程。埃弗顿足球俱乐部。总共花了100多个小时来进行实地考察，并进行了另外25次半结构化访谈，形成了数据集。本文认为，研究人员应该对自己在研究领域中的位置更为挑剔，并应寻求发现这一点的依据。在他们的奖学金上更加清楚。反过来，这将使人们可以进行更多的讨论，以考察田野调查的每个阶段如何影响研究的范围和整体结果。本文为人种学研究人员提供了一个替代框架，以更好地认识和认可整个研究过程中的反思性。通过更清楚地概述实地调查参与的各个阶段，可以更好地了解研究人员如何改变和适应研究环境，从而做到这一点。
