The Red Lion takes audiences into the heart of a struggling semi-professional football club trying to make ends meet. It’s a world far from the glamour, millionaires, celebrities and 24-hour media attention of the Premier League.
Things look up when Jordan, a gifted young player, appears out of nowhere but he soon finds himself stuck between the conflicting ambitions of Yates, the kit man and a former club legend, who sees him as the key to returning to former glory days, and the manager, Kidd, desperate to deliver success with his mind on the money.
Loyalty, trust, morals and friendship are pushed to the very edge, leading them to ask if this is really the opportunity everyone’s been waiting for?
