More of that in a moment, but first I would like to extend a warm welcome to our visitors today - all the players, management, staff and supporters of Beckenham Town. The first qualifying round of the FA Vase is an exciting game, particularly for our young local players, many of whom are only half a dozen games into their senior playing careers. It’s a chance for clubs to make a bit of a name for themselves in this level of non-league football and we know Beckenham Town will be as keen to make a mark as we will. Our visitors play one step above us in the football pyramid, so it’s both a challenge and an opportunity for our team. No one at this level of non-league football could possibly pay more attention to detail before every match than our manager Danny Fox so we know that, whatever the outcome today, the team could not have been better prepared. The arrival of Danny and his coaching team in the summer has seen the club make huge strides in its vision of reconnecting the club to the town and building a youthful team, full of locally based players proud to represent their hometown club. The win last week, over a Frimley Green team full of players who decided against staying here when we made the managerial change, was a fully deserved reward for their hard work so far. The performance also showed how much progress they have made in such a short space of time. There’s undoubtedly much more to come from both the management team and this group of players. 04 The club’s aims, the new look team and the year history of Dorking FC. After some false dawns, style of play are clearly appeals to local people. the builders have moved in and work has begun More than half our team is from Dorking or the on rebuilding our ancestral home ground at immediately surrounding villages and it’s probably Meadowbank.

It appears that football has lost successive generations of potential coaches and managers simply because they are black or from other ethnic minority backgrounds.

Our message and activities therefore need to be able to respond to such changes as and when appropriate. We achieve this through: • Producing educational resources • Developing activities to encourage people, including young people, to challenge racism • In parts of the UK, challenging racism in the game of football and other sports.

Introduction This is the fourth year the SPTT and Fare have worked with Loughborough University to present data on the number of ethnic minority coaches in English football. Over that period the figures have remained largely static and continue to present a pessimistic picture. At the beginning of this season the number of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) coaches employed in senior positions in professional football was 4.6% and the number of BAME first team coaches is 3.3%. Many people in the game, and those observing from outside, cannot understand why a sport in which up to 30% of professional players are ethnic minorities has only 3.3% of managers and head coaches from similar backgrounds.

  • An Introduction from Show Racism the Red Cards Honorary President Shaka Hislop
    An introduction from Show Racism the Red Cards honorary president Shaka Hislop: It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since I first started visiting schools around the North East with Show Racism the Red Card. I remember my first appearance alongside John Beresford at Gosforth High School like it was yesterday. To look at where the campaign is today and reflect on how far it has come, how many students have been given the confidence to look further than culturally imposed horizons, to express their own fears, concerns, and share in each other’s triumphs, has been the true reward of the thankless work of the hundreds of campaign workers, players, managers and volunteers through three decades. Women and men who themselves have grown through their own interactions with the kids over the years. I’d like to thank the sponsors, contributors and those who have and continue to donate to the campaign. Your support cannot be measured in mere financial terms. How do you put a price tag on hope, encouragement and empowerment? I’d like to take a special moment to thank those teachers, educators and school administrators who were open to the idea of introducing SRTRC, and our materials into your classrooms. All our years we are taught to colour within the lines, never stray too far from our places of comfort. Without your own willingness to take that first step outside of your own ‘lines’ your students would not have been allowed to further extend their own selves. So as we go through the review of the last 20 years, take a moment for a collective pat on the back, you all deserve it.
