Overview

• Chichester City striker Billy Vigar, 21, died after colliding with a concrete wall during a 20 September Isthmian League match at Wingate & Finchley.
• Wingate & Finchley postponed two home fixtures and say they will install rubber safety padding at the Maurice Rebak Stadium once accreditation is approved.
• The Football Association has begun an immediate review of perimeter walls at National League System grounds following a call from the PFA for a full investigation.
• Former Bath City forward Alex Fletcher, seriously injured in a 2022 perimeter collision, said FA action is "too little too late" and urged walls to be removed, rebuilt with safer materials, or at least padded.
• Team‑mate Kieran Magee described the incident as traumatic for players and staff, a Chichester City GoFundMe for Vigar’s family passed £8,000, and tributes included black armbands worn by Arsenal and Newcastle.
