This statement, condensed and potent as it is, could stand in for the questions this thesis asks and seeks to answer: why did wrestling develop as a professional, performed ‘sporting entertainment’? To answer this question, existing theories of social and sports history are combined with cultural studies methods and applied to Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of fields.

Introduction This report details the results of a post-code analysis of the Season Ticket databases of Manchester United and Manchester City. It forms one part of a much broader research project on sport in Manchester, called Sport, the City and Governance: Football, Its Fans and Social Exclusion. This research was funded by a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council. Our research, Sport, the City and Governance, had two principle areas of investigation. The first was the relationship of the city to sport, and in particular the new ways in which sport is being used as part of economic and social regeneration. The second concerned the role of one sport, professional football, in Manchester and especially the relationships between clubs, fans and the city. This was undertaken through a one year study of one city, Manchester (UK), using the two principal professional clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City, as comparative case studies. The research principally used qualitative and ethnographic research techniques and further qualitative findings of this work will be found in other forthcoming publications. However, we were also able to undertake some quantitative analysis, detailed in this report.

Department of Tourism, Sport and Hotel Management Griffith Business School, Griffith University Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2015 2 ABSTRACT The relatively recent emergence of global sport has occurred at such a rate that it has been called one of the largest and fastest growing components of the world economy (Cornelissen, 2007; Higham & Hinch, 2002). One of the latest manifestations of this growth is the emergence of sports cities (Smith, 2010). The concept of sports cities is an ill-defined term, and one that has emerged in conjunction with the growth in global sporting events - events which have left a legacy of stadiums and other facilities in host cities (Smith, 2010). Many cities have adopted the term in order to optimise sport infrastructure, extend event legacies, and leverage the associated economic opportunities. Despite their abundance, there is little research that explores sports cities, and less still that explores the extent to which social benefits form part of their planning.

  • Politics and the People's Game: Football and Political Culture In
    Politics and the People’s Game: Football and Political Culture in Twentieth Century Britain1 Matthew Taylor School of Social, Historical and Literary Studies University of Portsmouth Published on the Internet, www.idrottsforum.org (ISSN 1652–7224) 2007–01–17 Copyright © Matthew Taylor 2007.

Sports and politics – that particular juxtaposition has never gone down well with the perform- ers, administrators and other patrons of sports. Today, few people believe and insist that sports and politics are separate entities, not belonging together, forever to be kept apart. It used to be otherwise; the Danish historian Hans Bonde recently published a study of the collaboration between the Danish sports authorities and the Nazi occupiers in wartime Den- mark, legitimized by the notion of the dissociation of sports and politics, but in fact politiciz- ing sports far beyond anything ever seen, before or after. In fact, Nazi Germany often played a part in putting what Lincoln Allison calls the myth of autonomy to the test. The Olympic Games in Berlin 1936 is a telling example, as is the football match between Germany and England in 1938, with the English side performing a Nazi salute before the match. In the Brit- ish autonomy mythology, this has long been dismissed as an exception to the general rule, and it is precisely the stubborn resistance to accept sports, and specifically football, as an integrated part of the surrounding, politics-driven society, that is discussed in Matthew Tay- lor’s article.

  • Playing Pitch Strategy - Appendix 1
    Playing Pitch Strategy - Appendix 1 Analysis of current provision The headline summary of current facility stock in Manchester LA area by sport is as follows: Football The key findings in relation to football provision are: Grass Pitch Summary There are 197 pitches across 71 sites reported to be available for community use on some level, whilst 28 pitches across 12 sites are unavailable for community use. In 2020/21 season, The University of Manchester (Wythenshawe Sports Ground) site was closed for community resulting in 26 football pitches and 1 rugby pitch unavailable for community use. The site was remobilised in March 2021 under a short-term lease arrangement with Wythenshawe Forum Trust. In addition, Manchester Health Academy site closed for a 12-month period resulting in a further temporary loss of 3G and Grass Pitches. There are 21 FA or FIFA certified 3G pitches, of differing dimensions, on which competitive football matches can be played. Most available pitches in Manchester (68%) are adult sized which is, in part, due to youth 11v11 teams playing on adult pitches. The majority (60%) of pitches available for community use are rated as standard quality, with 26% rated as poor and only 37 pitches as good, equating to just 14%. However, there are 17 grass pitch sites in Manchester with three or more full-size pitch equivalents (or with fewer than three pitches but deemed to be of strategic importance). These contain 111 grass pitches. Of the 17 sites, three are considered to have good quality pitches, eight are of standard quality and six of poor quality.
