This afternoon we welcome the Cod Army, officials and players of Fleetwood Town to the Abbey Stadium. A previous match between the sides saw a young Jamie Vardy playing for Fleetwood. It proves how important the football pyramid is in the development and progression of players in this country. Would he and others have made it in their careers if it wasn’t for the opportunity to develop at clubs like ours. With the Fans Led Review underway one of the groups involved in that process is Fair Game read more about them via the organisations web site https://www.fairgameuk.org/

This month they published their manifesto, as a supporter you really should take the time to read it via the following link https://tinyurl.com/aym29j3h There are a number organisations involved in the Fans Led Review. All of those groups will have influence on the future and determine the direction of the game going forwards.

Fair Game is led by the league and non-league clubs involved with them who share the same principles. It is also being supported by experts in many different areas. They are backed by politicians and believe in sustainability, integrity and community. They wish to see football governed with fairness, openness and transparency at its core; honouring the mantra that the game can be a force for good and putting clubs at the heart of the communities they serve. There are some interesting ideas concerning Fan Engagement and the group refer to the following - that supporters will have the final say on items like the clubs name, nickname, colours, badge and leaving the geographical location connected to the clubs name. Clubs would be encouraged to adopt a multi-level approach to “Fan Engagement” and transparency through publication of formal club meetings. The regulator would also publish clubs’ performance against the “Fan Engagement” criteria in the Sustainability Index. More information concerning football clubs would also be available for supporters to see.

Part of being at the heart of the community is about being a good neighbour to everyone living locally in the area. Community Trusts do exceptional works however supporters across the country nowadays provide foodbanks and do other good works. Before lockdown we had started to collect items on matchdays for the local foodbanks and had distributed hundreds of old kits overseas. There are now two wheelie bins situated by the programme outlet near the shop. We are collecting old football kits and boots so please have a look through the draws and cupboards for any. If you have any surplus food, please donate it. No one should suffer from hunger so it is really important to support the foodbanks locally and also reduce the amount of waste being put into landfill.

Old laptops, desktop computers, flat screen monitors and tablets can also be taken to Emmaus Reboot in Landbeach See their website and take particular notice of opening times which can change https://emmaus.org.uk/cambridge/what-we-do/emmaus-reboot/

At some point in the future we might have a collection point/day for donations

Supporters’ groups call on new minister to press on with reform

More than 100 supporters’ organisations from across England and Wales have co-signed an open letter to Nadine Dorries MP, the new secretary of state for Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

• You can read the letter here…

The letter welcomes the minister to the role and encourages her to ensure the Government fixes football governance via the Fan-Led Review. The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) is meeting with the secretary of state soon.

“Football clubs are at the heart of their communities, cultural institutions which bring a sense of identity, pride and belonging for millions of people every week. They deserve protection,” says the letter. “We know that you will receive the final report from Tracey Crouch MP later this year, and would urge you to retain the commitment to independent regulation.”

Tracey Crouch MP is leading the Fan-led Review of Football Governance and her interim report was clear that radical reform is needed to change the power structures of the game and protect clubs from rogue owners, including the need for independent regulation.

More than 100 FSA-affiliated and associated supporters’ groups in the men’s and women’s game, including those from clubs at the top of the sport to non-league level, have co-signed the letter.

If your supporters’ group would like to join the FSA and co-sign the letter, or if your group is already a member, please contact the FSA and we can add your organisation’s name to the list of signatories.
