A national coalition of supporters’ trust have called for the primacy of fans’ organised to be recognised in the Football Governance Bill currently being debated by Parliament, according to the BBC.
Football campaigning organisation Fair Game has joined a coalition of 22 trusts, led by Northampton Town Supporters Trust who are calling on the government to ensure “the unique status of trusts to be recognised and enshrined in law” as part of its Trusts First campaign. Chief executive Niall Couper says the campaign is ‘about giving those communities a real voice in the game they love’.
The BBC’s article says that the coalition includes trusts Barnsley, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Exeter City, Fulham, Leicester City, Leyton Orient, Manchester United, Morecambe, Northampton Town, Plymouth Argyle, Reading, Scunthorpe United, Southend United, Swansea City, Swindon Town, Torquay United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The campaign will lobby the government to “guarantee primacy for Trusts and other democratically-constituted supporter groups”.
