Racism at English football grounds survey

[Alex Weeks]

My name is Alex Weeks and I am a third year student studying sociology at the University of Roehampton. I am writing a thesis on racism at football grounds and whether enough is being done to combat it. I have created this short survey in order to gather data on the issue. It should take approximately 5-10 minutes. This survey is completely anonymous and you can withdraw at any time. The purpose of this consent form is to make you aware of your rights within this research. I would be extremely grateful if you were able to complete it. Thank you.

I've had a look at the survey and I'd like to know what period are we talking about are the questions just related to the last 5 seasons or for as long as ones been going?

Sorry I should have made this more clear. The first question relates to the last 5 years. All other questions can be answered in relation to your lifetime of watching football.

Ok but that makes it difficult because if you been watching for many years certainly back to the 70s then the answer to a lot of the questions would be yes but in the last 10 years + the answer would be no. I know you have an age question but that doesn't necessarily match attendance eras. Therefore if your responses are skewed in one direction or another age wise then the results will be skewed the same way. 

 

Anyway filled in and good luck with your degree.

Having read the questions, I think that's his intention. Almost all of the questions are leading or presumptive.

unfortunately it’s the society we live in today and i don’t know how we change it.i have friends of all colours backgrounds and nationalities and they hear things every day and unfortunately they’ve learnt to just get on with it.im from a polish back ground and i myself hear things like oh the poles coming  over and pinching all the jobs etc and i just laugh.now i know it’s not racism as such but if you took every comment to heart you would end up one hurt and upset human being.its a very hard and tough subject to discuss and i myself have discussed it at length with many people and have no idea how to combat it but i hope one day things do change for the better as we all have a right for a better and life with out abuse.
