The Script of the Season Big Data Takes on the Beautiful Game 2019/20 The Script of the Season Big data takes on the beautiful game Commissioned by: The twists, the turns, the ecstasy and the agony. You can’t script football. Or can you? By May 2020, another season will be over. Premier League positions will be finalised, UEFA Champions League winners decided, UEFA Europa League places secured and relegations regrettably confirmed. We’ve commissioned some of the biggest brains in sports data, analytics and machine learning. Writing the AI-driven script of the season before a single ball’s been kicked. Leading data scientists and real-time sports analysis experts Squawka, have analysed vast amounts of the world’s foremost football data from Opta. Leveraging the scalability of Google Cloud Platform to host the predictions and possible fortunes of all 20 Premier League clubs, as well as the giants of the European game. Can data foresee the future of football? Does it have the answers to the questions we usually wait months for? This is the story of the 19/20 season. Commissioned by BT, written by data.

  • 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.
