We also used the occasion to co-opt Nathaniel Yates on to the committee, with a view to him being elected at next year’s AGM as a full member. Nathaniel is going to serve as MUDSA’s Junior ambassador and as well as chatting with our younger members, he will liaise with the 4 Foundation when they start their outreach programme. Nathaniel is 24 and has been a MUDSA member since he was 10-years-old, so he has grown up with us and when he gave his acceptance speech, he said MUDSA had made him the person he is today. I have to say the speech was very moving and everyone in the room gave him a very enthusiastic round of applause. The Committee believe he is going to be a great asset to MUDSA plus he brings the average age of the “team” down by 20 years!

  • Uefa Champions League
    UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2018/19 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Wembley Stadium - London Wednesday 13 February 2019 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Tottenham Hotspur Round of 16, First leg Borussia Dortmund Last updated 25/09/2019 16:47CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 Tottenham Hotspur - Borussia Dortmund Wednesday 13 February 2019 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Wembley Stadium, London Match background Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund have got to know each other well over the last four seasons, with little between the sides as they prepare to meet for the fifth time. • While Dortmund dominated the sides' first meeting, Tottenham held the upper hand when the clubs were reunited last season. The German club – in the round of 16 for the fifth time in seven seasons – come into this tie having finished first in Group A, while Tottenham claimed the runners-up spot in Group B thanks to a memorable 1-1 draw at Barcelona on matchday six. Previous meetings • All four of the sides' past contests have come in the past three years. • In the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League round of 16, Dortmund were 3-0 winners in the home first leg – Marco Reus scoring twice – before a 2-1 success at White Hart Lane despite Heung-Min Son's goal for the home side. • Tottenham turned the tables in last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, winning 3-1 at Wembley – Son opening the scoring with Harry Kane adding two more – and 2-1 in Germany, the same two Spurs players again on the scoresheet.

  • The FA V Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC
    IN THE MATTER OF A FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION INDEPENDENT REGULATORY COMMISSION BETWEEN: THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION The Association - and - (1) CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB (2) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOOTBALL CLUB The Participants ________________________________________________________ WRITTEN REASONS FOR THE DECISION OF THE INDEPENDENT REGULATORY COMMISSION FOLLOWING THE HEARING ON 10TH MAY 2016 _________________________________________________________ 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 On 2nd May 2016, Chelsea FC played Tottenham Hotspur FC in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. The outcome of the match was potentially of great significance to the race to become Premier League champions for the 2015/16 season; anything other than a win for Tottenham would confirm Leicester City FC as champions. And so it proved to be; Tottenham were 2-0 up at half-time, but Chelsea scored two second half goals to draw the match 2-2. 1.2 The game was ill-tempered and at times threatened to get out of control. The match referee, Mark Clattenburg, issued nine cautions to Tottenham players, a Premier League record for a single match, and three to Chelsea. There were also three mass confrontations between the opposing teams, another unprecedented and highly dubious record. 1.3 Mr. Clattenburg prepared Extraordinary Incident Reports following the match, which may be summarised as follows: (i) Players from both teams were involved an in altercation in the 45th minute, resulting in one player from each team being cautioned. Although he did not witness the incident at the time, it was subsequently brought to Mr. Clattenburg’s attention that a Tottenham player, Mousa Dembele, had his hand in the face of Diego Costa of Chelsea and appeared to gouge with his fingers towards the eyes of the latter.

  • Newsletter #13
    Newsletter #13 Welcome to the latest edition of my irregular updates newsletter and thank you for your continued interest and support. More features this time about my latest additions, items I'd like, auctions and other interesting sites. As ever, clicking on the picture or highlighted text in each item below will take you to a more detailed site, either mine or the relevant one. Also, if you know of anyone else who might be interested in receiving this newsletter please ask them to get in touch with me via the site or perhaps YOU could provide me with their email address. Another highlight from my website Perhaps it's an oddity, but I don't care and I'm going to include this here. It's the earliest item that I have of anything resembling HTAFC memorabilia - a sadly incomplete newspaper report of Town's 6-1 West Riding Cup 2nd Round tie against Clayton West on 20th March, 1909 at a time when Town was only a Midland League team. Of interest here is the mention in the third paragraph of 'The Redskins' which MUST be Town because Howard - who kicks clear - is a Town player; so does this prove that Town played in red at this time? All Town fans know that we were at one time known as 'The Scarlet Runners' due to playing in red shirts - later to become pink as the colour ran after all too-frequent washes! - and this would appear to be the evidence that was required. This brilliant piece of history is glued to the back of the telegram that I have announcing Town's acceptance into the Football League soon after in 1910.

    MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.
