Football reform: FSA meets new EFL CEO Rick Parry

An FSA delegation featuring fan reps from Blackpool and Charlton Athletic today met with the new sports minister Stuart Andrew.

There you are, going about your day, encouraging football clubs to think a little more about their long-term financial health and ways to increase supporter engagement when – BAM! – a club CEO compares your ideas to the Great Leap Forward (Chairman Mao’s disastrous policy which led to the deaths of at least 15m Chinese citizens).

The chair of the Government’s fan-led review of football governance joined the FSA’s National Council for a video conference last night, explaining in further detail the evidence-gathering process which will take place in the coming months.

The Football Supporters’ Association’s Women’s Game Network met for the first time in person on Sunday (3rd July 2022) for a “Vision Day” with supporters’ groups and football industry experts.
