Abstract

On May 15, 2016, reports emerged of a “suspect package” inside Old Trafford minutes before kick-off in Manchester United’s game versus Bournemouth. The “suspect package,” causing a full-scale evacuation, and match postponement, turned out to be a “fake bomb” accidently left following a security exercise. Minimal social research investigates responses from supporters to “security” and “safety” at large sports events. Although the “suspect package,” fortunately, never “materialized,” it represents an important case in English football. Theoretically, this study adopts a frame analysis technique pioneered by Erving Goffman and it empirically examines supporters’ responses to security during the chaotic hours of the “fake bomb” incident, as articulated on an interactive message board. Overall, supporters were satisfied with police and security management’s handling of the incident, although it was questioned how the “fake bomb” was not detected. Importantly, supporters agreed that “safety comes first.”

安全剧院的梦想:老特拉福德“假炸弹”疏散后支持者对“安全”和“安全”的回应
2016年5月15日,在曼联对阵伯恩茅斯的比赛开始前几分钟,老特拉福德球场出现了一个“可疑包裹”的报道。这个“可疑包裹”导致了全面撤离,比赛推迟,结果是一个在安全演习后意外留下的“假炸弹”。很少有社会研究调查大型体育赛事中支持者对“安全”和“安全”的反应。幸运的是,尽管“可疑包裹”从未“成为现实”,但它代表了英国足球界的一个重要案例。从理论上讲,本研究采用了欧文·戈夫曼(Erving Goffman)开创的框架分析技术,并实证检验了支持者在“假炸弹”事件的混乱时刻对安全的反应,正如互动留言板上所阐述的那样。总体而言,支持者对警方和安全管理部门对事件的处理感到满意,尽管有人质疑为何没有发现“假炸弹”。重要的是,支持者同意“安全第一”。
