Let’s save football “Working towards a transparent and violence-free football” Our main objective is to contribute towards change within the football citizenry, offering a meeting point for all club members (socios) and supporters, regardless of jerseys or league division, from where to report all violent or corrupt behaviour surrounding the game. We will stand by those who for any given reason don’t feel at ease with informing the authorities. Individual effort, though noble and exemplary, has been proven ineffective. For there to be true, profound and lasting change, football-loving people must come together and act collectively. Football should only be a sport!!! Never hesitate! Every single illegal action must be reported to the authorities! We are here to support you. We truly hope Salvemos al Futbol is some day deemed unnecessary and folds. It would mean that: Everybody feels safe in a stadium. Courts are just, and impunity a memory. Corrupt and violent behaviour has been eradicated from our game. Police forces developed effective crow control skills. The president of the Asociacion del Futbol Argentino assumed responsibility and behaves in an exemplary manner. Until then Salvemos al Futbol will keep on growing and working hard for all this to happen!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------October 2011 The Vision of ‘Salvemos al Fútbol’ Presented in “Play the Game 2011” Our organization had the privilege to be a part of the seventh edition of the prestigious conference between the 3rd and 6th of October in the German Sport University of Cologne, Germany, with the presence of prestigious references in different areas of sport. Monica Nizzardo talked about the work of SAF in two separate days.
Play the Game is one of the most prestigious meeting places for worldwide sports with the participation of journalists, leaders, athletes and all people related to world sport culture.
In the 2011 conference, SAF participated through the presence of its president, Mónica Nizzardo. Our representative talked in two panels: one concerning football y politics and the other dedicated to sport documentaries. On Tuesday, October 4, Mónica explained the particular areas of violence in Argentinean football in her first group lecture. SAF participated next to another Argentinean, Javier Szlifman, licensed in communication and author of the blog “Pelota Afuera” (Out of Bounds). Our countryman gave a brief history of the history of violence in Argentinean football and its relation with the media. The other member of the panel was German journalist Ronny Blaschke, who presented his book “Attack from the Right – Political Extremists in Football”, a work that describes the link between football and the right extremists in Germany. Argentinean journalists Ezequiel Fernández Moores was in charge of the coordination of the talks.

It presented a part of “Fútbol Violencia S.A.”, filmed by Pablo Tesoriere, in which Nizzardo was head of production. Along with the president of SAF, the panel was filled by producer Harshad Mistry of England´s BBC, who presented “The Making of Rwanda 17”; the Danish journalist Niels Christian Jung showed his documentary “Son of a Football Star,” and Hajo Seppelt and Robert Kempe (German) presented their work on “Sport in North Korea.” The panel was led by German journalist Jens Weinreich.

The most important themes of the conference were the fight against corruption in sports, the social value of big events, the continued development of anti-drug politics, and the fight against gender discrimination, and how to develop sports in poor regions.
Jens Sejer Anderson, international director and responsible for the conference affirmed: “We are in a very important time for the future of sports, and strong participation is needed in order to change the course of sports that are heading towards auto-destruction. Therefore we are happy that a lot of people who run the international program have chosen to come to Play the Game, creating deeper debates in fundamental problems.” One can find a summary of the finished work in www.playthegame.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------October 2, 2011 Sport, Modes of Communication and the Situation in Germany As a part of the international delegation chosen by Play the Game, Salvemos al Futbol also participated in a seminar offered by the German radio station Deutsachlandfunk (DLF) on October 2nd in Cologne.

The club moved to the new stadium in July 2006 after spending 93 years at Highbury. The old stadium has not disappeared completely. It has become a housing complex. They have built 4 apartment towers respecting the structure and location of the old stands. “The biggest fans have not hesitated to do whatever we can to be the owners of one of these flats. It wasn't easy, but some of us have managed to do it”. says Emiliano, excited.
The main entrance was kept

Joe Mulcahy, has dedicated many hours of his life to the collection of historical material from Arsenal. The following is an excerpt from a long talk about the issue.
I want to give special thanks to Steve Powell, Eda and Joe Mulcahy. I greatly appreciate the kindness you have had with me.
