Finally, to end where we started, a huge thank you to all of you for supporting our conference for another year!
This year was just another step in our growth and we look forward to bringing anyone who loves the history of football of all codes together to celebrate this ☺️🩵

Also, a huge thanks the authors of ‘A most unsuitable game’ for their panel, which was the well deserved winner of our inclusivity prize, which celebrates inclusive & diverse histories of football. A huge thanks & congrats to @fionaskillen.bsky.social, Karen Fraser & @juliemcneillwrites.bsky.social

Additionally, we want to shout out Tim Mills, for his community-led programming presentation, which co-won our day 1 best paper prize (sponsored by Routledge) for his work with @officialcufc.bsky.social.

A huge shoutout to Karen & Lauren from the Maroon Mile Project for getting involved with our conference this year! Whilst the presentation so very closely missed out on our inclusivity prize, Karen & Lauren were great representatives for @Hearts& highlighting such a wonderful project

Additionally, a huge thank you to Routledge for their continued support of the conference and their contribution of £200 worth of book vouchers to gift to the winners of our best paper prizes and our inclusivity prize.

But let us now give a few shout outs to some people….

Secondly, a huge thanks to the Irish FA for their support and allowing us to hold the conference at the Clearer Twist National Football Stadium at Windsor Park. It was a great venue and we can’t thank you enough for your support of our event
