 A Voice from the Past: Simon Magus
The mistakes to which we have alluded are therefore well illustrated by the prevailing impressions regarding the case of Simon: that his sin proved that he was not a believer; and that Peter, in rebuking the sin, was simply unmasking a hypocrite.
This conclusion is unhesitatingly embraced, in the face of the divine testimony that Simon believed, by men who are daily dishonoring the name which they bear by their flagrant inconsistencies, and who still claim that they are not hypocrites, and who do not despair of their own salvation.
What was the issue in the case of Simon we are not informed, but the silence of the record would rather favor the supposition that prayer was heard on his behalf.

 Independent on Sunday, The: BOOKS: PAPERBACKS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Before long Simon is reading Camus and getting paid by other inmates to write their letters.
Simon is required to attend assessments and therapy sessions, which he's contemptuous of, but he does start his own private form of therapy, embarking on a series of faltering correspondences with women on the outside in the hope of understanding them better.
Inglis has written the first book in appreciation of the classical period of football ground architecture (1902-1989) and has delved through the records of 29 different clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and Spurs, looking for the photos and plans with which he's reconstructed the grounds as they originally looked.

Simon Inglis Seminar - Research, seminars, courses, publications and conferences on football business and governance from the Football Governance Research Centre, Birkbeck, University of London
Simon Inglis is Britain’s leading authority on the place of stadia in the football industry.
Beginning by addressing the reasons for the parlous state of the grounds of the football league in the 1980s, he will then explain the key drivers behind the stadia rebuilding drive of the 1990s, before concluding with some observations on the place of the stadium in the future development of the football industry.

Simon Inglis makes the point in his book that as far as the owners of the grounds were concerned any developments would have to fulfil three fundamental criteria.
Simon Inglis even went as far as describing the clubs themselves as ‘stupid and arrogant’ when it came to how they conducted their affairs.
It is interesting to note that Simon Inglis also believes that it is impossible to group the actions of all of the teams in the league together as there are very different predicaments for each one of them.

 Red News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Inglis recounts how, because of the wage caps imposed on players, a number of clubs fell foul of the authorities in the early 1900s for paying illegal bonuses, and describes instances of underpaid players falling to the temptations of bribery.
Not lost on Simon Inglis, nor on Billy Meredith, was the irony in club chairmen approving this punishment, whilst being actively involved in trying to sign these players for their own clubs.
Simon Inglis suggests that Meredith was signed by United on terms more favourable than the legal maximum, and notes with some relish that the United chairman was none other than J.J. Bentley, who was also President of the Football League.

Simon Inglis looks beyond the events which take part within these structures and tries to explain to the reader why these buildings have become more important than churches and libraries to many.
Inglis seems to be on a different planet and he may as well have been talking about crocheting.
Inglis seems to have gone for some kind of pseudo intellectual approach to his subject, and though I consider myself to be an intellectual, it just isn't fitting for the subject.

 glenferrie
IN 2000, English writer Simon Inglis, an architecture graduate with a severe fondness for sports stadiums, proclaimed his affection for Glenferrie Oval, the home of the Hawthorn Football Club.
Details aside, Inglis was happy to reiterate his claim for the art-deco stand during an interview by phone in his home in the London suburb of West Hampstead, which he describes as halfway between Lord's and Wembley.
Other factors nudged Inglis towards his affection for Glenferrie, such as the brown and gold of the Hawthorn guernsey, because these colors are far from the English soccer standards of red and white or blue and white.

 CNN.com - African football: Culture of neglect - May 11, 2001
The same lack of management, Inglis notes, was endemic in European football up until 10 years ago.
Since then, he said, the British have had to undergo a steep learning curve -- a curve that many believe was spurred by the fallout from Britain's worst football disaster, the deaths of 96 football fans in a stampede at Hillsborough in 1989.
Inglis traces many football stadium tragedies to a basic lack of security controls, including an inability to count -- and control -- the numbers of people entering the stadium, with the consequent risks of overcrowding.

 Brian Inglis - composer
Brian Inglis was born of Scottish descent in Germany in 1969 and lived for several formative years in Germany and Iran, which may have helped foster a later interest in multi-cultural eclecticism.
A desire for broader compositional horizons took him to London in 1992, where he began studies for an M A degree in Composition with Simon Holt at City University, awarded in 1993 along with the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers' Prize for outstanding achievement on the course.
Brian Inglis' earliest compositions date from the autumn of 1986, inspired by his study of the piano and an interest in the modernist piano styles of Stravinsky and Prokofiev.

Since his book was first published in 1983 as "The Football Grounds of England and Wales", Simon Inglis has become acknowledged as an authority on the safety aspects of football ground architecture, and is now a member of the Football Licensing Authority.
Inglis is now a member of, or consults to, various organisations responsible for the country's football and its stadiums.
Inglis has a thing about floodlights; each to his own, they don't do much for me. For future editions, I'd be delighted if he devoted more attention to pitch dimensions; the size and shape of a the ground influences the atmosphere and style of play.

 Foxboro creating an option for Fenway: 2/25/98
They also might feel better about redoing Fenway, be more confident they could pull this off, if they looked at Football Grounds of Britain, Simon Inglis's encyclopedic, colorful account of the transformation of soccer stadiums.
Londoner Inglis, a baseball fan, told me, "From what I remember of Fenway Park, it wouldn't present any insurmountable problems." He said you need construction firms that are used to building things quickly.
Inglis writes that this was seen as a ploy to "ease out the rougher elements" who occupied what had been a standing terrace, and 5,000 fans staged a protest before the bulldozers leveled the old bank.

In England there has been a massive programme of stadium improvements since the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, when 95 fans were crushed to death during a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Inglis said: "This disaster appears to have all the hallmarks of Hillsborough, with the problems occurring at the outside of the stadium.

 BBC SPORT | WEMBLEY | Expert blasts Wembley confusion
Simon Inglis, an authority on stadia, tells BBC Sport Online's Saj Chowdhury about the confusion which has led the UK government to backtrack on its plan to exclude athletics from the new Wembley.
Wembley, which could cost in excess of £600m, may now need to re-evaluate its plans resulting in an increase in the revenue required to fund the new venue.
Inglis believes that that would be a fraction of the cost of building two sports venues.

 ESPNsoccernet.com - ExtraTime - Shifting stands   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A whole swathe of new stadiums sprang up in Britain in the early nineties at clubs like Millwall, Northampton and Huddersfield, and by the middle of the decade the more high profile venues of Middlesbrough's 35,000 capacity Riverside Stadium; Derby County's Pride Park; Sunderland's Stadium of Light and the Reebok Stadium at Bolton were constructed.
The speed of change - top flight clubs were given just four years to convert to all-seater arenas - was such that decisions were hurried and led to clubs with difficulties, like Portsmouth and Newcastle United, seeking extensions to the deadline.
Inglis believes that after the frenzied and intense level of change, stadium development moved into a 'second phase' as the millennium approached.

 Simon Magus
When the Spirit was given, apparently the external manifestations that Simon saw motivated him to try to purchase the gift of being able to impart the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands (8:18).
For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bondage of iniquity.” But Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me yourselves, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me” (Acts 8:20–24 nasb).
The punishment for Simon’s sin is that he will “perish.” This refers to physical death.
