On Thursday 12th December 2019 many millions of football fans will head out to cast their vote in the General Election. But who’ll win your cross in the box?
The FSA doesn’t favour one political party over the other, and we have a track record of working with all the major parties, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t interested in what they have to say across the issues which matter to us.
With that in mind we’ve published The Fans’ Manifesto which shines a spotlight on five key areas we believe parties will engage with: grassroots, standing, transport, governance and regulation, and equality.
We’re party neutral but we do believe that supporters should engage with politics and support the party which reflects their beliefs – if you haven’t registered to vote you still have until 11:59pm on 26th November to fix that.
The Liberal Democrats and Labour have now released their manifestos, while the Conservatives are expected to publish theirs at the weekend. Next week the FSA will look at all the party manifestos and analyse the football-specific policies.
Every fan should be informed so check out your local candidates’ commitments – and while you’re at it why not ask if they back the FSA’s Fans’ Manifesto?
The Fans’ Manifesto:
Grassroots – Share the wealth
Standing – Stand Up for Choice
Transport – Flexible football rail tickets
Governance and regulation – Protect our pyramid and heritage
Equality – No to discrimination
The FSA’s remit is very wide and The Fans’ Manifesto has a specific focus on areas which we believe will engage political parties. If you’d like to read more about all of our work check out our Annual Review.

Eleven demands for radical change to the game have been put together in one ‘Reclaim the Game’ manifesto by Football Supporters Europe to help supporters campaign across the continent.
Inter Miami FC are through to the final of the Leagues Cup – an annual tournament between club teams in MLS and Mexican football – after a barnstorming match against Dallas in the round of 16. Messi and his new teammates scraped through on penalties after the game finished 4-4. Two of those eight goals came courtesy of the best/worst own goals we’ve seen this summer. A classic.
Reading have announced that they are dropping the £20 away ticket price cap for fans visiting the Madejski Stadium – unless other clubs in the EFL offer reciprocal deals.
