Being locked up is grim at the best of times, being locked up over Christmas, away from friends and family, is always going to be an especially difficult time, so we urge all decent anarchists and radicals to send a letter, messages of support, of just a few lines to the five anti-fascist prisoners still [...]

www.maasaicricketwarriors.bellstrike.com (www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/nov/30/the-spin-cricket-maasai-warriors) ‘Cricket came to this corner of Kenya only a few years back, entirely because of the efforts of one South African woman. Her name is Aliya Bauer, and she is the coach of a team called the Maasai Cricket Warriors. Bauer is what the Australians would call a ‘cricket tragic’, a player, a [...]

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/the-rundown/article/8908/ The link above takes you to a ‘top 10′ countdown (everyone loves a countdown) of some protests in sport. Its been done by eurosport off the back of the poppy debate for the up and coming england friendly against spain. P
Sorry i could not be with you today, i got ill..

The game is another arena of the violent macho culture. All of [...]

This is obvious to anyone listening to a group of newspaper boys leaning on their bicycles and discussing the outcome of a bicycle race. It is not for nothing [...]
thoughts and things- mimesis and civilizing

I found the discussion today about the stadium very interesting in terms of the Elias text and the way sports/ recreation were used to pacify mass political endeavours (also love Brave New World, or love to hate it, anyway an excellent association)- but one thing I’m not sure was touched upon was the possiblity of [...]
A few thoughts about the prison and the stadium- an echo of some other views!
Posted: October 27, 2011 by ayat in The Prison, The StadiumThe Prison: As entering the prison my feelings graduated from high discomfort to relaxation. The varied structure and environment made it tricky for me to visualise who was the vulnerable side; us- the visitors, the staff, or the inmates. It was interesting to read what James quoted about some prison’s etiquette “Be straightforward, don’t make [...]
As a piece of research, I suggest we all go to the Millwall home game on Tuesday 29th November – we’ll all be in for college anyway. Kick off 7.45pm who fancies it? They’re playing Doncaster, so there’s no reason to assume there’ll be any ‘derby’ related tensions..!
Hello below are some links i have found in relation to the Football Ground, see what you think. Links to the official Fan Page for Millwall and an Unofficial Millwall Fan forum which is pretty interesting: Unofficial forum Official Fan page Millwall Home page For those who don’t know the history of Millwall fcs violet fans i have found [...]
