Supporters Direct and FSF agree to become one.

On Saturday, Supporters Direct have agreed to the creation of one supporters group alongside the FSF..

Interesting times for the future of clubs and supporters - somehow you feel we could have lost something special.

I hope the new group recognises the work being done by SD to help smaller clubs and those in the non league and wont just concentrate on tthose at he tip of the pyramid.

Without Supporters Direct there would probably have been no Cambridge United. Other clubs would not have survived without the expertise and knowledge of the goup

At today's SD AGM, a vote was held on whether to pass Indicative Resolution 1:

The resolution was to either;

Form a single, new football supporters' organisation with the Football Supporters' Federation or;

To continue as a distinct organisation focused on governance in sport.

From a turnout of 70% (69 voting members) the vote was as follows:

Form a single, new football supporters' organisation with the Football Supporters' Federation: 36
To continue as a distinct organisation focused on governance in sport: 30
Abstentions: 3

Therefore, Supporters Direct are mandated to form a single, new football supporters' organisation with the Football Supporters' Federation

Further information about the vote will be published early next week.
