Sunday, 16 May 2021 Page 3 of 11 SYDENHAMS FOOTBALL LEAGUE NEWS 2020/21 EDITION NUMBER 46 UNITED SERVICES PORTSMOUTH AND THE FA VASE United Services’ exploits in this season’s FA Vase were well documented in the last newsletter and immense credit is due to all concerned on their reaching the last four of the Competition, a remarkable feat for a Step Six Club. The latter stages consisted of, in a manner of speaking, a number of steps in to the unknown, because their record over the years in the Competition has not raised many eyebrows – and that is in no way a criticism, it is a fact of life for all Step Six Clubs. The Club first entered the Vase under their current name in 2004/05 when they lost at Sussex Club Mile Oak in their opening game and this was repeated in the next four seasons as they went down to Sidley United, Holmer Green, Milton United and Brading at the first time of asking. Sidley, from Sussex, was a home tie and Milton United were also victorious after a draw Burnaby Road. Holmer Green necessitated a trip to Buckinghamshire and they also had to cross the Solent to Brading having conceded ground advantage - presumably their own pitch was unavailable. The first success came in 2009/10 with a 4-0 win at Lymington after which they went down to the only goal of the game against Hamble ASSC. This was followed by three more first time exits at the hands of Mile Oak (again), Cowes Sports and Swanage Town & Herston, the last probably the most disappointing since they were a level lower. 2013/14 saw their best result to date with a 6-1 home victory over Western League Calne Town before losing by the odd goal in five against Winterbourne United, again from the Western League. The following season saw a revenge victory over Swanage Town & Herston – on penalties – and a defeat of Ringwood Town before losing to near neighbours AFC Portchester in the First Round Proper. 2015/16 is perhaps best described as the good and the bad as a creditable one all draw at Sholing was followed by a 6- 0 defeat in the replay. Western League Corsham Town scored the only goal of the game in the opening tie in 2016- 17 but the following season saw the First Round Proper reached again. There was an initial defeat of Verwood and then victory over Midhurst & Easebourne from Sussex before Christchurch proved too strong in a 3-0 victory. Two more seasons of opening game defeats, at the hands of Brockenhurst and Western League Sherborne, led to the present season which saw a halt in the Competition midstream followed by a sequence of matches week by week. As previously stated, this was well covered in the last newsletter but to recap briefly their run started with victory at AFC Portchester, in front of a designated capacity attendance of three hundred, followed by a win over Bournemouth with the match being played at Portchester. Then followed wins over Millbrook from the West Country, Christchurch, on penalties, and Flackwell Heath before the semi final loss to Binfield, to lose at that stage is always difficult to take but one imagines when it is on penalties it is made even harder. But as was said at the start of this piece it was a superb achievement that bought the Club, its officials and players a lot of credit and reflected well on the League and hopefully they can build on that success next season on all counts next season. Prior to 1986/87, the club played in the 1974/75 competition, but fell at the first hurdle with a 2-0 home defeat to Gosport Borough and again lost at home in 1975/76 to Bracknell Town who progressed courtesy of a best of five victory. Next time they entered was in 1983/84 and that saw a 2-0 home win for opponents Ash United, with 1985/86 seeing the club unfortunately fall foul of player eligibility rules. Their full FA Vase record whilst in Wessex League membership is reproduced here.

    ITFC Away Guide 2021/22 An Introduction to the 23 League One Grounds Prepared by the ITFC Supporter Liaison Officer, with added input from other ITFC staff About this guide • This introductory guide is produced by people who have visited all of the grounds in recent years. • The idea is to help you to plan your away trips – in some cases, to choose which are the grounds / places you most want to go to. • Detailed away guides are produced a few weeks before each match, published on the ITFC website, and available for review at the SLO Hub in the FanZone at ITFC. – Note that up-to-date information on rail engineering works (+ replacement buses) and road closures will be included in the detailed match guides. • In compiling this guide, we have mostly relied on our own knowledge and memories, but we have used several additional resources, including opposition Clubs’ websites, www.greateranglia.co.uk and www.google.co.uk/maps. • In particular, though, we have used the website www.footballgroundguide.com, for stadium information, capacities, away ends, fanzones and parking. We do recommend you take a look at this website as you plan your games – but check out our detailed pre-match guides, issued a couple of weeks before each game, for updated pub information – the last year has seen a lot of pub changes, including some new openings.

  • Global Game, Local Identity: the Social Production of Football Space in Liverpool
    GLOBAL GAME, LOCAL IDENTITY: THE SOCIAL PRODUCTION OF FOOTBALL SPACE IN LIVERPOOL DANIEL EVANS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August, 2014 © Daniel Evans, 2014 ii Abstract Based on participant observation of matches and interviews with key informants in Liverpool, UK, this thesis sets out the situation of the globalized English Premier League and its consequences for football (soccer) fandom in Liverpool. I am looking at both the reliance on and resistance to a tourist based consumption of the game. Using a Lefebvrian theoretical framework I analyze how football space is created in Liverpool and how the supporters’ groups of different teams in the city work to both globalize and glocalize the football culture of the city, and are looking to reshape their relationship with football’s current economic and cultural space. As Liverpool increasingly relies on a tourist-based economy with sport as its focus, it is altering the relationship between supporters and their clubs, and with other fans. The monitoring of fan performances by both authorities and other fans can be considered through Foucauldian conceptions of power to continuously shift the dynamics between different groups of supporters. iii Acknowledgements As I spend much of this thesis discussing the formation of social groups and the importance of community, I must acknowledge the many people that helped me in the creation of this work. First, my informants, who helped me understand the football world in Liverpool: Paul Gallagher, Jay McKenna, John Bennett, Andrew Sherlock, Ros Merkin, James Benson, Mike Humphries, Chris Stirrup, Feargal McAvoy, and Steve Kelley.
