Since 1992 thirty-eight football clubs have become insolvent owing to the failure of government and the football authorities to regulate the game properly. The truth is that Malcolm Glazer bought Manchester United because it was in the UK – he could not have done so if it had been an Italian or Spanish club, for example, because the rules in those countries would not allow it. Indeed, the real scandal is not that he has bought Manchester United, but that he was able to. The fact that a wealthy individual with no long-term connection or allegiance to the club, and whose motives have been questioned by supporters, has been able to acquire a controlling share is due in large part to a lack of effective regulation within the game Man U was a public limited company.

    Date: 29.09.2018 Ground: 45 Match: 12 (69) Venue: The Fortis Stadium Teams: Wellington Amateurs V Sikh Hunters Competition: West Midlands Regional League Division One Admission: £4 Final Score: 0-3 (H/T 0-2) Referee: Not Known Attendance: 98 (Official) Mileage to venue and return: 35.2 Miles Programme: £1 Introduction I needed to take in a local game this weekend due to other commitments, having had a look at the fixtures available I was delighted to see that Wellington Amateurs were playing a home fixture against Sikh Hunters. This meant that I could take in a local fixture and add another tick to my ground visits. Having dropped Jodie off at work on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, I then went into Shrewsbury to do a bit of shopping. I headed over to Wellington and arrived in the town at 1:00pm, now you would think that Wellington Amateurs play in Wellington, Telford. Well, they don’t, the club actually plays in the nearby town of Oakengates. I am familiar with both towns as I was born and raised in Telford but for the purposes of this blog report I spent a short amount of time taking a few pictures of both towns. The following segment of this report gives you the reader a bit of information on both Wellington and Oakengates. Wellington Wellington is a town in the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin and is situated in the County of Shropshire. Wellington also forms a part of the larger area of Telford. Following the 2011 census, Wellington was recorded as having a population of 25,554, making the town by far the largest in the borough and the third largest in Shropshire, when counted separately too Telford.

    Getting To Football 2021-22 August 2021 Edition Andy Edwards Andy Edwards 17 Catherine Street Rochester Kent ME1 2HJ [email protected] Most of the content of this work is in the public domain. The remainder of the content, and the presentation of the information, is © Andy Edwards 2021. The cover image is © Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum 2019. Introduction Welcome back to Getting To Football! When I put out the last edition in March 2020, little did I know that it would be almost eighteen months before the next edition. As I write, there is reasonable confidence that football will be almost back to nornal in the 2021-22 season, although it certainly cannot be ruled out that this may change – and if there’s going to be a game, it remains the job of Getting To Football to get you there! For various reasons – mostly related either to procrastination or to cricket - this edition has been prepared with a shorter lead time than usual. This means that not all of the usual content is present; this edition covers only football in England from the Premier League down to Step 6, the top two levels of football in Northern Ireland, the top five levels in Scotland, and the top two levels in Wales. The lower levels in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will return in the October edition together with hockey and rugby union. Football in Ireland, Gaelic football, hurling, rugby league, and shinty play summer seasons and will return in good time for their 2022 seasons. In another minor change for this edition, I’ve turned the font size up a bit.
