Along with 6339 other people, I saw Brentford beat Rochdale by four goals to nil. I was nine years old and fascinated by the spectacle: the stadium, the sense of belonging to the crowd, the colour, noise and smells, the excitement of the play, the whole atmosphere of the place. So began a lifelong interest in football, crowds and sports grounds. I continued to visit Brentford regularly throughout my youth and bachelor years in the police service. At the same time, I became involved in policing large crowds on occasions such as football matches, pop concerts and demonstrations. Whilst on duty at a rally in East London on 11 May 1985, I stood outside a television rental showroom and watched in horror as over fifty people burned to death in a grandstand at Valley Parade in Bradford. I was deeply touched by what I saw. In later years, I returned to Brentford as a police inspector and saw at first hand the police response to the 1989 disaster at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield and the subsequent reports by Lord Justice Taylor. In 1992, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to study for a higher degree. I wanted to look in detail at how sporting events are managed, to understand more about why disasters happen and how they might be better prevented. In 1994, having concluded my studies and become a Christian, I felt it was right to leave the police and earn my living as a writer, researcher and consultant in the field of risk management, particularly in the context of sport and safety management. My mission was to make a contribution to knowledge of how to improve safety and reduce the risk of future disasters in public assembly facilities. In 1995, I began to collaborate with Lynne Walley in the Centre for Public Services Management and Research at Staffordshire University. My interests in safety and accountability dovetailed neatly with her interests in legal liability and we became involved together in organizing a number of seminars dealing with sport and safety management. Several of the contributors to this book were speakers at those seminars, giving valuable insights from a practitioner perspective. We eventually realized that their papers, together with the outcomes of our own viii Preface research, our collaboration with other academics and our consultancy activities, provided the basis for a publication. We knew from our contacts in the world of British football that it was an almost daily experience for clubs and the authorities to receive enquiries about safety management. These came from students from diverse disciplines such as sociology, sports sciences and leisure management. At the same time, we were aware that practitioners had been faced with a post-Hillsborough deluge of guidelines on various safety matters, focused on football, yet having equal validity for the wider sports and leisure context within public assembly facilities. We realized too that the popularity of football and the concentration of disasters within the sport meant that the subject of spectator safety in sport would be of interest to the general reader. This book therefore represents the outcome of five years' research and consultancy work. We hope the book will have a broad appeal, that the effort will have been worthwhile and that we will have been able to support an ongoing process of continuous incremental improvement in sport and safety management. Steve Frosdick and Lynne Walley Sfafordshire University, November 1996 Alan Beckley has served for twenty-five years in the police service in Surrey, Shropshire and Hereford and Worcester. He currently holds the rank of Chief Inspector, working at Kidderminster divisional headquarters of the West Mercia Constabulary. Postings have varied between large urban areas and small rural towns. Between 1991 and 1995 his role involved planning major policing operations, contingency planning and fulfilling many liaison functions with police and other organizations at national, regional, county and local levels. In 1995, he completed a year-long part-time research project funded by the Home Office on the personal liability of police officers following major and critical incidents. Several articles from the research have been published in national policing magazines. He is working on a Master's degree in Law, and holds several posts in voluntary youth organizations. Bryan Drew Bryan Drew joined the Metropolitan Police Service in 1974 and has worked in many areas of London as an operational officer. In 1989 he was selected as one of a small team of officers tasked with establishing the National Football Intelligence Unit (NFIU), where he served until the NFIU became an integral part of the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) in April 1992. He was worked in the NCIS since 1992, more recently as a Detective Chief Inspector, Head of Specialist Crime. He is a member of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Public Order Sub- committee which deals with policy matters in respect of the policing of football in England and Wales and was a member of the Euro '96 ACPO Steering Group, chairing the Information Technology Sub-Group. He was promoted to Detective Superintendent, Head of the Strategic and Specialist Intelligence Branch of the NCIS in September 1996. x About the contributors Dominic Elliott, BA (Hons), MBA, MMS Dip Dominic Elliott has taught and researched in the fields of strategy and crisis management at a number of universities.

  • 'The Truth' of the Hillsborough Disaster Is Only 23 Years Late
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/26897 ‘The Truth’ of the Hillsborough disaster is only 23 years late John Williams was present on the fateful day in April of 1989. He places the event within its historical and sociological context, and looks at the slow process that finally led to the truth being revealed. I have to begin by saying – rather pretentiously some might reasonably argue – that I am a ‘f an scholar’, an active Liverpool season ticket holder and a prof essional f ootball researcher. I had f ollowed my club on that FA Cup run of 1989 (Hull City away, Brentf ord at home) and was at Hillsborough on the 15 April – f ortunately saf ely in the seats. But I saw all the on- pitch distress and the bodies being laid out below the stand f rom which we watched in disbelief as events unf olded on that awf ul day. Fans carrying the injured and the dying on advertising boards: where were the ambulances? As the stadium and the chaos f inally cleared, Football Trust of f icials (I had worked on projects f or the Trust) asked me to take people f rom the f ootball organisations around the site of the tragedy to try to explain what had happened. It was a bleak terrain: twisted metal barriers and human detritus – scarves, odd shoes and pairs of spectacles Scarve s and flag s at the Hillsb o ro ug h me mo rial, Anfie ld .

I also certify that the work is original and has not been previously submitted for any other award, except where otherwise acknowledged. …………………………………………………. ………………….. Signature of candidate Date Endorsement ………………………………………………….. …………………… Signature of Supervisor Date iii Acknowledgements “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller (1891 – 1980) An outcome such as this dissertation is never the sole result of individual endeavour, but is rather accomplished through the cumulative influences of many experiences and colleagues, acquaintances and individuals who pass through our lives. While these are too numerous to list (or even remember for that matter) in this instance, I would nonetheless like to acknowledge and thank everyone who has traversed my life path over the years, for without them I would not be who I am today. There are, however, a number of people who deserve singling out for special mention. Firstly I would like to thank Dr Malcolm Cathcart. It was Malcolm who suggested I embark on doctoral study and introduced me to the Professional Studies Program at the University of Southern Queensland. It was also Malcolm’s encouragement that “sold” me on my ability to undertake doctoral work.

    HUGH WHITEHEAD, THE ORIGINS LARS HESSELGREN Of J PARRISH SMARTGEOMETRY Smartgeometry (SG) was founded in 2001 by former colleagues and friends Hugh Whitehead, Lars Hesselgren and J Parrish as a way to recapture parametric and computational design for architecture. At the time of founding SG they were leaders in the London-based architectural practices Foster + Partners, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and ArupSport respectively, and were strong proponents of digital design. Each was striving to create architecture through the use of parametric tools and computational methods. Through SG they hoped not only to create new digital tools, but to foster a community that would develop, test and disseminate these ideas of architecture and design to a wider audience. Whitehead founded the Specialist Modelling Group at Foster + Partners in 1998 which has been responsible for a host of innovative buildings and consistently pioneers computational design methods in architectural practice. After years at KPF in London, architect Lars Hesselgren is now the Director of the Computational Design Research Group at PLP Architects. J Parrish is a globally renowned sports stadium designer leading teams to design some of the most iconic stadium projects in the world. After many years at ArupSport, he moved to AECOM where he is currently working on the venues for the Rio Olympic Park. Here each tells their story of the origins of SG, now an international multidisciplinary community of professionals, academics and students in the fields of architecture and engineering.COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 1 HUGH WHITEHEAD BACK TO THE FUTURE Four people were sitting in a car travelling to a Bentley conference.

  • Felly's Football Tour Introduction 3
    Felly’s Football Tour Sprint/Summer 2021 (tbc) Fundraising for Fellysfund in memory of our good friend The Motivation To Turf Moor To the University of Bolton Stadium Supporting Felly’s Fund To Deepdale To Goodison Park To Boundary Park Felly's Football Tour Introduction 3 Redwood Events have been arranging charity walks and cycle events since 2007 and have recently started to work with the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. This has given us a great exposure to, and understanding of, the challenges that the Motor Neurone Disease can bring. Life changes very quickly for those diagnosed with MND and for their families. The average life expectancy for someone with Motor Neurone Disease is just 2-5 years from the onset of symptoms. A third of people diagnosed will die within a year and half within 2 years. It’s a 1/300 lifetime risk in the UK of being diagnosed with MND. That’s 3 children in each and every school today. There is no known cause of MND and there is no cure or effective treatment, it’s always fatal. When Paul Stanway talked to us about the great work they have done in memory of their great friend Felly, we were very keen to help. Felly’s Football Tour will combine a 131 mile continuous walking tour from Liverpool FC (Felly’s favourite team) to Fleetwood Town FC calling at fifteen other football grounds in between. This is a journey of 130 miles. After a short break for breakfast, the walking will give to cycling as riders will then head north from Fleetwood Town to Barrow AFC via Morecambe FC, a journey of 73 miles.

  • Premier League, 2018–2019
    Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected].
