Sunday @ The Footy Almanac
“Oh cringe of cringes,” writes Dips O’Donnell about the Australian response to the Royal Tour. (He’ll hate those capital letters) Read his rant (and the comments which it has flushed out) HERE.
Anna Pavlou has spent the last few weeks researching the history of the ANZ Zedders, the ES&A team and how they eventually formed Albert Park FC in Melbourne. Lots of interviews. She did this thanks to the encouragement and support of Almanac patron Peter Stirk. Read Anna’s piece HERE.

Sport as Entertainment – 2. Professionalism and Commercialisation of Sport
Stainless examines the development of mass spectator sport from its roots in the late 19th century when most of the games and competitions we know today were being codified and organised. Clubs and stadia sprung up, fuelling the growth of sports with huge spectator appeal.
