A really interesting watch. Only on iPlayer for the next month though!!

Great work
@gareththomas14 ,
@DamianCollins .

Would be great to see more @YouCanPlayTeam support across wider UK sport, not just football.

[ESIC @ESIC_Official]

ESIC and Victoria Police cooperate on evidence of betting fraud leading to the arrest of six people.

@CrowdControlGuy I am also looking forward to @ArenaRisk. Particularly as one of their roundtables covers the development of a national police unit that I sat on the working group to create, and that absorbed (& built on) my work on setting up the first UK national events intel sharing process.

[Event Security Digest @EventSecDigest]

@CrowdControlGuy A great selection of events. @E3Sworld has been outstanding for the last 2 years. I would also add @ISE_Expo to the list. While they removed the Major Events and Stadia conference they previously ran, there is usually still interested agenda items on the Crowded Spaces stage.

Does #esports have a doping problem? New #podcast

@SportIntegrity and the Integrity Commissioner of @ESIC_Official break it down. Pretty candidly.

Don't miss this one.

[Arena Risk Conference @ArenaRisk]

Looking forward to hearing Kevin Walker - National Events Intelligence Officer and Coordinator, the National Events Intelligence Unit (NEIU) talking about Tackling organised criminality at your events and venues. Arena Risk 2019 - contact me [email protected].

@isemurphy @CSatMMU You might want to look at Rudimental. They are playing at Derby Cricket Ground (also Newmarket Racecourse & Wentworth Golf Club) as well as several smaller UK festivals this summer.

[Joel Franco @OfficialJoelF]

Chaos at @rollingloud. Golf cart stolen and driven through the crowd

[Event Security Digest @EventSecDigest]

Sounds like a fantastic step forward. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

[Safer Sounds Partnership @safersoundsldn]

Really excited to have the Information Sharing Agreement signed off by @metpoliceuk. Sharing intelligence is key to making events safer. @nightczar @SBN_BCRP

[CWC19 Travel @CWC19travel]

An exciting summer ahead full of some great #CWC19 matches! Are you going to any of them? Don't forget to plan your travel, there are lots of different ways of getting to each ground. https://t.co/kEKNH6x0Dd

[Clifford Stott @cliffordstott]

Interesting thread on the DFB and the repression of pyro 🧨. If we know anything about managing crowds the failure of the repressive approach is clear and will produce nothing but radicalism, polarised and escalating conflict.

[Tony O Brien @tonyobrien83]

Who saw that coming in the #risk assessment?

“Arsenal condemn Valencia fans' behaviour after a video appears to show them making Nazi salutes” https://t.co/Huql4vBUWq

[Event Security Digest @EventSecDigest]

Would be interested in any evidence or intelligence that backs up the concerns highlighted in this article. Any detailed studies done on ground pre- and post- safe standing rather than highlighting standalone incidents?

"Unable to confirm that adequate safety personnel will be in place next week, Bolton were given a prohibition notice."

Since @Inoreader have hugely downgraded their Pro package but kept the price the same, we are looking for suitable alternatives to move to. While the tool works brilliantly for us its now offers way less for the same money. What are peoples favourite #RSS readers currently?

I welcome @CommonsCMS' report published today into Live Music, who make it clear that consumers must not buy or sell tickets on Viagogo. As one victim who used viagogo put it, it is a "cruel and cynical scam" @FanFairAlliance @clairelouisetur

@VodafoneUK pls confirm why https://t.co/RrgIgZg9xR is being blocked by "Vodafone age-restricted content controls". Surely that is like blocking Google! This site is a valuable resource and shouldn't be blocked. Pls advise how long it will take to fix and this must be an error!

[Event Security Digest @EventSecDigest]

@Access_AA could you clarify is this legal for UK #EventProfs under current legislation?
"...literally hack its operating system via its radio frequency..."
"...the ability to destroy the drone using the systems high powered, accurate laser beam..."
