*The Rifle Club, Goldsmith Avenue, Portsmouth, PO4 0AW. Thursday 20th October 2011. Doors 7pm (7.30pm kick-off).
Watching Football Is Not A Crime! is a free Football Supporters’ Federation event, hosted by former Pompey, Saints, and Republic of Ireland star Alan McLoughlin. The event gives fans the chance to question a panel of experts including Supt Rick Burrows, in charge of policing at Fratton Park and St Mary’s, and barrister Stephen Field. We are also pleased to welcome Alex Gask from the prestigious Doughty Street Chambers and a rep from the Football Safety Officers’ Association.
The FSF has previously held Watching Football Is Not A Crime! in London and Sheffield with the discussion entirely in the hands of those attending. Questions which have been raised in the past include:
Further timing and venue information:
Fans should arrive for 7pm and the event will kick-off at around 7.30pm, this gives plenty of time for everyone to grab a drink and get settled. We’ll then have two Q&A sessions lasting around one hour each, with a 15 minute refreshment break in the middle. We’re sure it’s a format football fans are vaguely familiar with.
If everything’s as interesting as expected, there might even be extra time…everything should be wrapped up for 10.30pm when there’ll be time for a few pints and some chit-chat with fellow fans.

Sargis Adamyan has scored just a single goal while playing up front for FC Köln this season, as they struggle in the bottom half of the Bundesliga. And if this disaster of a finish from five yards is anything to go by, it’s not hard to see why.
To mark this year’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, both the All-Party Parliamentary Groups for Football Supporters and for Global LGBT+ Rights invites FSA members to a joint panel on LGBT+ representation, and combatting discrimination, in football.
