Chapter 11: New Course Plans

Recently, the entire healthcare system in the UK, especially the emergency department, has been caught in the "accident gate". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Recently, the topic that major media in the UK has paid the most attention to is "the waiting time of emergency patients is not up to standard".

The recent experience of a footballer in the Welsh second division is a living illustration of this hot news.

According to the BBC, the player suffered a broken leg injury during Saturday afternoon's game and had to lie on the pitch on the pitch and wait for an ambulance to arrive because he was told not to "act rashly".

He waited, it was too cold, he couldn't help but shiver, so his teammates covered him with a blanket......

He waited until it was dark and the street lights were on......

He didn't expect that the wait would be three hours, and he didn't expect that when the medical staff finally arrived saw his purple leg, they told him that he might be at risk of amputation.

That's when he began to panic, and now that he was hospitalized and undergoing surgery, he wanted an apology from the ambulance department, and he didn't want something like this to happen to anyone else.

A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: "The current demand for first aid is unprecedented, meaning it is impossible for the emergency services to respond to every call in a timely manner, and unfortunately this player is one of them.

The Welsh player's broken leg incident highlights the backwardness of rescue equipment in the English stadium, and after the player was seriously injured, the tragedy of secondary injury of the player was caused by the backwardness of the ambulance system and the on-site rescue equipment on the field. While the major clubs are aware of the importance of rescue equipment, no one is moving, even Manchester United.

At Ewood Park in the 10th round of the Premier League, there was a fierce battle between Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United on the field, and there were also highlights off the field.

Blackburn's newly acquired stadium ambulance was officially unveiled. Such an ambulance was the first club to resort to a stadium ambulance even in European football.

The 2002 Premier League only required the stadium to be equipped with stretchers, ambulances and ambulance personnel, but there were no further detailed requirements for the number and standard of ambulance equipment, and the professionalism of ambulance personnel.

However, after a Welsh player suffered a serious injury that led to an amputation, the lack of medical care in the Premier League was highlighted and an urgent need for escalation.

As a result, Blackburn decided to invest in two stadium ambulances, equipped with immobilized stretchers, to prevent players from re-injuring them after injury.

According to industry insiders, the simple stretcher bracket may bury hidden dangers for the secondary injury of the wounded during the transport process.

The stadium ambulance is equipped with fixtures, stretchers and other equipment, which can eliminate this hidden danger.

During the match against Newcastle University, Finnan was taken to hospital with a back injury, and he was transported by the stadium ambulance on the way from the dressing room to the ambulance.

In addition, Arthur has also booked a helicopter to participate in the emergency medical rescue transport and air traffic patrol monitoring mission for Blackburn Rovers at home games in the future, which is also the first time that a football club in the world has a helicopter to participate in the support mission of a game.

Arthur's helicopter for emergency medical support was an EC-155 medium helicopter. The helicopter is equipped with a medical emergency stretcher, rescue winch, medical equipment and on-board digital video transmission equipment.

The helicopter is also expected to be responsible for air traffic patrol and monitoring before and after the event every day, providing air support to ease the flow of people and vehicles on the stadium and surrounding roads, and alleviate traffic pressure.

The traffic observed by the helicopter in the air is transmitted to the command center of the Blackburn Public Security Bureau in real time, providing a basis for timely adjustment of traffic security measures. At the same time, the police aviation team of the local public security bureau in Blackburn also strengthened cooperation with the traffic radio station to broadcast traffic jams as soon as possible, reminding fans to change their routes in advance to avoid congested road sections and enter and exit the venue in an orderly manner.

Whether it's a stadium ambulance or a medical helicopter, it's Arthur's first move in football, but in reality, these are just casual small actions in Arthur's opinion, because at this time his mind is occupied by a bigger plan.

……

"A new stadium?" Blackburn management such as Mensa Bonsu, Monchi and Mourinho were stunned for a moment after seeing Arthur's proposal, and then many people's faces began to become cloudy.

Blackburn is not a big city like London or Manchester, it is a small town with a population of only 100,000, and the number of permanent residents is even less than that of an ordinary township in China.

With a capacity of 31,000 people, Ewood Park should be more than enough for Blackburn's 100,000 people.

At 115x76 metres, Ewood Park is second among the 20 teams currently competing in the Premier League, behind Manchester United's Old Trafford.

If a new stadium with more seats is built, not to mention the huge construction and maintenance costs, the only fact that there are not enough spectators in the stadium after it is built, resulting in a lack of strong atmosphere will outweigh the losses.

Moreover, Arthur, who was reborn, also knows the "lessons from the past" of Arsenal's construction of the Emirates Stadium.

In Arthur's previous life, Arsenal had not won the Premier League title in a decade since moving to the Emirates Stadium in 2006. Their last Premier League title came in 2003/04, a season in which the Gunners were unbeaten and unbeaten.

However, they won only four trophies in the following decade, but none of them were Premier League titles. The vast majority of people believe that the Gunners missed out on the league title for a long time because they spent too much money on the construction of a new stadium, which forced the team to sell some players and save money.

"Ewood Park was already good enough for Blake, there was no need to build a new stadium" – Arthur had thought before, but now he was starting to have other ideas.

Blackburn have played in the Champions League as last Premier League champions this season, joining Feyenoord, Juventus and Kip Dynamo in Group E.

After participating in the Champions League, Arthur planned to bid for the Champions League final in the future, but was embarrassed to find that Ewood Park was not qualified to host the Champions League final.

The Champions League is a competition organized by UEFA, and the final decision on the venue for the Champions League final is made by UEFA. UEFA, on the other hand, has a quantitative standard for stadiums, and only the fifth-tier stadiums, which are the best stadiums, can host the Champions League final. For example, Camp Nou, Bernabeu, San Siro, Millennium Stadium, Allianz Stadium, Old Trafford, Stadium of Light (Porto), etc., and Wembley Stadium.

Places like Liverpool's Anfield, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and the revamped Ewood Park are all classified as tier 4 stadiums due to their lack of seating and are not eligible to host Champions League finals. If the stadium conditions do not meet UEFA standards, you will not be able to participate in European competitions.

UEFA five-star football stadiums, with a minimum capacity of 50,000 people and 4-star stadiums with a minimum capacity of 30,000 people, are also eligible to submit applications, but they will not enter the second round of screening at all.

All seats in the stadium must have backrests, the area of the playing field is not less than 105x68 meters, and there are strict regulations on the sideline from the spectator seats: the sideline on both sides is 6 meters, the bottom line of the gantry is 7.5 meters, and the perimeter fence. First-class locker rooms for both sides and referees (the locker rooms for both sides must be of the same size and facilities, with sufficient space, light and cleanliness), etc.

In addition to the strict requirements for the stadium, there must be ample hotel rooms in the vicinity of the stadium, with up to 4,000 guests during the UEFA Champions League final. There are plenty of hostel rooms for fans to choose from, with 1,000 and 500 five-star rooms reserved for UEFA and its partners in the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup finals.

Currently, there are fewer than 20 stadiums that are classified as "five-star" in Europe by the UEFA Stadium and Safety Committee.

All in all, if Blackburn are to host the Champions League final, their home stadium will have to be part of one of the 20 five-star stadiums.

In the club's high-level meeting, Mensa Bangsu and others were silent after seeing Arthur's plan.

With Blackburn Rovers winning the Premier League title last season and continuing the team's good momentum this season, Arthur's authority within the club is getting heavier, and with more than 90% of Blackburn's shares, his proposals at club senior meetings are no longer ordinary proposals, but more like informs.

As long as Arthur is ready to carry out the plan, often no one in the Blackburn hierarchy will oppose it, and in fact it will not be able to oppose it.

However, the construction of a new stadium is really too important a plan, and Arthur has not released any rumors before, so Mensa Bangsu and others did not immediately agree after whispering.

"Arthur, this plan of yours is so sudden." Mensa Bangsu smiled bitterly: "It's hard for us to have a clear idea in a short period of time. ”

Arthur nodded, knowing that this was what the other party wanted him to be able to explain, but he already had a draft.

"First of all, I don't think the current Ewood Park stadium is enough to match our future development. In the future, we will play in the Champions League, and I don't know if UEFA will be able to continue to pass our stadium audit. I think we need to be prepared. ”

"Secondly, I think there's an image issue involved. Blackburn have already won the Premier League title and have done well this season, both in the league and in the first group stage of the Champions League. As long as we continue like this, we will become a giant team like Manchester United, Milan and Real Madrid in the future, but it is no longer a dream. However, compared to the likes of Old Trafford, San Siro and the Bernabeu, Ewood Park is far less impressive. ”

"Thirdly, we have a new stadium with more capacity, which means more ticket revenue. At the same time, it can also be conducive to the promotion of the club and enhance its influence. ”

"Finally, there is the cost factor. At present, whether it is the cost of land, building materials or labor in Blacktown, it is normal to rise rapidly, and if we build a new stadium in five years, it is expected that the cost may rise by 8%, 90%, or even double. ”
