Football
Probably the most popular game in the world, football is played by nearly 240 million people around the world. Allegedly played since the medieval period it was distinguished from the horse-riding games of the aristocracy by the use of the word 'foot'. It was only late in the 19th century that the rules were finally established.

Goal Safety
![Goal Safety]( "Goal Safety")
Goal Safety and preferred options for freestanding goals are:
1. Integrally Weighted Goals
2. Attachment of back bars to FIXED anchorage points i.e. permanently concreted in anchors
3. Attachments to surround fence by means of Fence Type Anchor
4. Attachment of adequate freestanding weights, i.e. Counterbalance Type
Freestanding weights are an effective temporary method of stabilising goal posts, but care should be taken to ensure the correct amount of weight is used i.e. Full size Freestanding and Mini Soccer goals require 6 x HA-ANC-005 per goal. Five A Side goals require 4 x HA-ANC-005 per goal. When other forms of anchors are to be used i.e. 'U' Pegs, Spira locks or Cork Screw Types, soil conditions play an important part as they may not hold adequately in certain ground conditions. Therefore these types of fixing should only be used where quantitative evidence exists of their effectiveness under the worst predictable ground conditions.
Care should be taken to ensure the attachment of anchors does not create an additional hazard such as entrapment or trip. Goal posts must be anchored at all times whether in use or storage. ANCHORS.
All our goals are independently tested by the accredited test house CST (Centre for Sports Technology). All goals are supplied with a copy of the relevant test certificate.
