Location: Nottingham, England Client: Northern Light Digital Client: Nottingham Forest Football Club is located at the city ground just outside Nottingham city centre and adjacent to the River Trent. The ground has four stands and a capacity of 34,445 people. When the football club decided to upgrade the public address and music systems in the Brian Clough Stand it called on the services of technical installation experts, Northern Light Digital Systems. Northern Light Digital undertook a site survey and, working in conjunction with audio system experts CIE-Group, recommended three separate systems for the stand to serve the two corporate bars, the dining room and the hospitality boxes. CIE-Group supplied all the products and Northern Light Digital handled the installation. At the heart of the system is an Inter-M rack system with a PX8000 audio matrix. This provides up to eight input signals which can be sent to eight separate outputs which feed into the three separate systems in the stand. The system in the two corporate bars allows different types of music to be played or TV audio with a local programme selection panel in each one. Each bar also has an induction loop for the hard of hearing. Another output feed is to the 30 hospitality boxes to enable people to listen to live match commentary from the box so that they feel part of the crowd without actually going out to their external seats.

Download date: 27. Sep. 2021 A Golden Silence? Acts of Remembrance and Commemoration at UK Football Games Abstract This paper reviews the use of minute’s silences and applause at football (soccer) games in the UK, considering why acts of remembrance take place and for whom. Examining the variation in commemoration the paper explores the extent to which these acts serve as liminal events to reinforce or diminish football fans’ sense of (‘fictive’) kinship and cohesion. Uncertainty about how to conduct them, and their purpose, is complicated by the way in which they are now used for a wide variety of people, regardless of their affiliation to a club, alongside their organisation and spontaneity.

  • Research Report
    SWFC TRUST RESEARCH REPORT NOV 2020 // PREPARED BY STEVE WILLIAMS AND THE SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY SUPPORTERS' TRUST SWFC TRUST PAGE | 02 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the first research paper in a planned series to be published by the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust. The purpose of the series is to provide an evidence- base for changes that our members seek at our football club. This paper focuses on matchday and season ticket prices, an issue that emerged as a significant worry for the fan-base from a Trust survey published in summer 2020. The survey was completed by over 1,500 respondents with 92% finding matchday ticket prices poor value for money. The Trust has since engaged its members in a consultation event on the subject, which was well attended and very successful in generating positive discussion about how Sheffield Wednesday’s ticketing strategy might look in the future. Our research papers will either evaluate existing club operations or provide case studies from other clubs around the footballing world. This paper falls into the latter category, focusing on ticketing strategy at Nottingham Forest since their takeover, and season ticket prices in the Championship in the 2019-20 season. The case studies presented in these research papers are not intended as a perfect template that Sheffield Wednesday should adopt. Instead, they provide data and inspiration from which constructive recommendations are on offer to reform Sheffield Wednesday and make it ready for the post-Covid era. They are forward- facing publications intended to contribute to debate about the vision for Sheffield Wednesday in the future.

  • City Ground Redevelopment by Noah, Alfie and Ewan
    City Ground Redevelopment By Noah, Alfie and Ewan Nottingham Forest (established in 1865) have played at the City Ground since 1898 and have a total of 30,445 seats. The ground hasn’t seen any major development since 1994 and the Sky Bet Championship club are hopeful that the development will commence in the summer of 2020. Since the owner, Evangelos Marinakis, took over in May 2017, the ground has only seen a slight lick of paint and a few minor changes. Marinakis was very clear that they will not be moving away from the City Ground as it has been the home of the European Cup winning side for well over a century. The main development will involve ‘The Main Stand’, which is planned to be demolished and re-built into a new two tier structure, which is expected to keep its name. The stand will be able to hold 10,000 people, taking the overall capacity to 38,000. Some minor alterations will take place to the other three stands adding some more seats and modernising the facilities. The City Ground will become the largest stadium in the East Midlands ahead of Derby County’s Pride Park (33,597) and Leicester City’s King Power Stadium (32,243). The increase in capacity will attract many new supporters and potentially players. The club are hoping that an extra 8,000 fans will give the players the push they need to gain promotion to the Premier League. The estimated development time is between 18-24 months. The capacity of the stadium will be temporarily reduced while the development takes place and the club will embark on an extensive consultation with fans to discuss the best way to deal with this.
