Annual Review 2015 Cover image: The Market Road Pitches and changing rooms in Islington, North London, were developed with £832,000 of funding from the Football Foundation. Located in one of the country’s top 8% most deprived wards, the facility was opened in September 2015 by former Arsenal FC midfielder Liam Brady. It is significantly increasing sports participation in the area and provides a key hub from which The Arsenal Foundation delivers extensive community outreach work.

Set up in 2000 by the Premier League, The FA and the Government, we are focused on improving public sports facilities and increasing long-term participation in sport across the country. In the last 15 years we have awarded 14,000 grants worth £546m thanks to investment provided by the Premier League, The FA and the Government, through Sport England. We have maximised their donations further by attracting an additional £779m in partnership funding, delivering a total investment into the grassroots of more than £1.3bn.

  • Club History
    Club History Organised football in Bangor dates from a meeting held in the city’s Magistrates' Rooms on 18 December 1876 – but not football as we might imagine because it was the handling variety that was first played in the city. It wasn’t until nearly a year later that it was decided to abandon rugby, to concentrate on association football, and to join the Football Association of Wales. The reason for the change of code? The number of players injured in that first experimental season! At that time, the club played at the Maes y Dref ground, at the lower end of Bangor’s High Street, and in the early years concentrated on playing challenge (friendly) fixtures and competing in the various cup competitions. Obviously, the club had no lack of ambition as on Easter Monday 1880, they took on the mighty Blackburn Rovers, giving a good account of themselves in a narrow 2 – 1 defeat. Nine years later, Bangor won the Welsh Cup for the first time, beating Northwich Victoria 2 – 1 at Wrexham before a crowd of 4,000, and in 1895-96 put on an even more impressive performance, beating north Wales giants Wrexham 3 – 0 at Llandudno to win football’s second-oldest cup competition for the second time. The Welsh Cup has been a favourite trophy of Bangor City over the years. City has won the trophy eight times – only Wrexham, Cardiff and Swansea have won it more often. Despite, or perhaps because of, City’s success in cup competitions, it became clear that the Maes y Dref ground was not up to standard, attracting complaints from visiting teams.

Devised as an illustrative example of ‘triolectics’, Danish artist and philosopher Asger Jorn conceived of three-sided football in 1962. However, the game remained a purely abstract philosophical exercise until the early 1990s when a group of anarchists, architects and artists decided to play the game for the first time.

  • Submission from RLSB
    Submission from Pro-Active East London Dear Mr Berry, Thank you for the opportunity to provide a written contribution to the London Assembly’s Economy, Culture and Sport Committee review into how to increase participation of disabled people in sport and physical activity in London. I am the Director of Pro‐Active East London ‐ the East London based County Sport Partnership serving the ten boroughs of East London. Additionally, as part of the Sports Regeneration Framework (SRF) work, I act as the champion for disability sport across the 6 host boroughs and work with colleagues and partner organisations to improve provision for physical activity and sport across the board which includes work directly linked to disabled participants. It is in the role as ‘disability champion’ and Director of Pro‐Active East London that I provide this response. The committee has identified four key questions and for ease I have identified brief bulleted points under each of the questions. 1. What has been done since 2006 to improve the provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners? a. Good progress has been made in the improvement of provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners but we believe that much more can be done to drive improvement. b. The Olympic and Paralympic Games has made a significant difference in raising the profile of Paralympic sports locally and as such, we have seen more evidence of funding being given to disability sports projects and a higher profile of the sports that form part of the Paralympics. c. The increased profile and focus on East London has encouraged many National Governing Bodies (NGBs) who focus on disabled sport (for example Wheelchair Basketball) to work in the locality and as a consequence, has provided significantly more disability sport provision for East Londoners.

Class and sport in Britain, 1850-1939 Matthew Taylor It is difficult to deny the imprint that class made on the development of modern sport in Britain. The idea of a Victorian sporting revolution, involving the invention and codification of new sports and an explosion in the numbers of those playing and watching, is now firmly established. Although we should not forget the continuities that existed between old and new ways of playing, the transformation of sporting culture impacted upon society at all levels.1 The perspective of the first generation of leisure and sport historians was to view much of this transformation through class spectacles. The predominance of socially exclusive clubs and the restrictions of amateur regulations suggested the creation of separate middle-class and working-class sporting spheres. Where it existed, middle-class interest and involvement in workers’ sport was seen to have an instrumental purpose. Sport was promoted to improve or reform the morals of the workers, or else could function as a form of social control, increasing efficiency and productivity in the workplace and shifting the attention from more dangerous political concerns.

Using the Wimbledon Championships as our starting point, the Committee investigated how this world famous tournament can help to promote tennis at a grass roots level within the capital. We also considered access to tennis courts in London, highlighted projects which encourage young people to get involved in tennis (such as the Westway Tennis centre), and examined how the Mayor, Sport England and the LTA can encourage more Londoners to pick up a racquet. At present, this year’s Wimbledon Championships seem a long way away. However, as this report points out, planning needs to start now if we are to translate the excitement of the annual Wimbledon Championships into greater opportunities for Londoners to get more active. And with support for London’s 2012 Olympic bid building, London needs to demonstrate active encouragement for grassroots participation in tennis. Responsibility for investigating issues associated with sport in London has now passed to the Economic Development and Planning Committee.
