The next meeting of the North West and North Wales Division of the FSF takes place at Hyde United FC (in the Pete O’ Brien Lounge in the Main Stand) at 1pm on Sunday, 29th March, 2009.

The FSF holds divisional meetings across England and Wales where football supporters come together and discuss the issues that matter to them. Crucially, we always try to hold them somewhere with beer so you can get a few pints in as well. It’s all about priorities!
Think there’s something the FSF has neglected in your region? Well get along and tell us. Campaign funds are available to all divisions so if something’s went wrong in your area, and you need some cash to get materials printed and campaign on it, get along to your local branch and tell them about it.
