Kick-off: The start of spectator sports

By David Pendleton

What took place in Bradford in the latter half of the nineteenth century was nothing less than a sporting industrial revolution. Kick-off charts and analyses the experience of Bradford in relation to the national development of sport in the modern city and how spectator sport, in particular, helped shape personal and civic identities in a bourgeoning industrial community. From the burgeoning of the first industrial communities, spectator sports have helped shape personal and civic identities with effects that remain with us to this day.
