This year marks the 20th year of publication for Sports Management magazine.

In that time we’ve seen sport go from amateur to professional, from public sector to all sector and to become part of people’s lives when it comes to both spectating and participating.

It’s been an amazing ride and now it’s time for us to change too, in response to your growing appetite for news and analysis.

From this issue, Sports Management will accelerate from being published every quarter to being fortnightly, with 26 issues published each year.

We’ll continue to bring you the latest interviews, research, features and analysis as we’ve always done, but our increased output means we can ramp up our live news reporting.

Our focus will remain firmly fixed on sports facility provision and everything which spins off that, from policy to funding, best practice to people.

We hope you enjoy the new format and welcome feedback to theteam@leisuremedia.com.
