This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
“The FSF backs the decision made by the football authorities not to impose a minute’s silence across all fixtures this weekend to mark the death of Margaret Thatcher. Should individual clubs wish to hold a minute’s silence or commemorate the passing of Margaret Thatcher in their own manner that is a matter for them.
“We would expect that most fans’ thoughts this weekend will turn to the friends and families of those 96 fellow supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough 24 years ago.”
Malcolm Clarke, FSF Chair
Football supporters everywhere were shocked and saddened when on the 27th August Bury FC were expelled from the EFL.
The situation faced by supporters of Bury FC is a result of extremely poor stewardship of the club, allowed by the inadequate governance of the game.
Bury FC’s threatened expulsion from the EFL rumbles on and should haunt all fans.
This week was the first time Premier League games were live-streamed by internet retailer Amazon, on their Amazon Prime video service. The next round of fixtures to be broadcast via Amazon will take place on Boxing Day. The FSA released this statement on the matter.
