Want to help change football? Fans’ Parliament 2010 will take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday July 24th.
The event sees supporters from across England and Wales put their heads together to see how we can influence the game for the better. The fan movement is growing stronger by the day – so get involved and have your say.
Fans’ Parliament is absolutely free, open to all, and helps set the FSF’s policy and campaigns focus for the coming year. The event runs all day and there’ll be social activities in the evening. If you’re not already a member join the FSF for free today and we’ll keep you up-to-date with all the latest Fans’ Parliament info.
Speakers will include:
Any FSF member is entitled to stand for election to our National Council or propose a motion for debate at Fans’ Parliament, although the deadline for 2010 nominations and motions has now passed.
However, you don’t have to wait until 2011 to have your say. Members should still turn up to vote in our elections and on motions. This is how we democratically set our campaigns agenda for the upcoming year – so if you disagree with anything we do speak up and get involved!
