Siobhain McDonagh MP backs "historic opportunity for change in football"
At 6pm this Thursday (today), AFC Wimbledon supporter Siobhain McDonagh MP
will have a 30 minute Parliamentary debate in the House of Commons on:
"Government policy on football governance and the case of AFC Wimbledon".
The debate is relevant at a time of historic opportunity for change in
football. The authorities have in front of them the chance to adopt changes
that could make shameful episodes like that of the franchising of Wimbledon
FC's league place, and the current crises engulfing Darlington and
Portsmouth and over fifty other clubs since 1992, a thing of the past.
The MP for Mitcham and Morden in the London Borough of Merton, former home
of Wimbledon FC, will urge the Government to ensure that any changes to the
rules of football currently under consideration by the football authorities
will ensure that clubs can't just ignore the communities they are supported
by.
She will also back calls being made by organisation Supporters Direct
through its own licensing proposals that to enable this, communities be
represented formally in the governance of clubs as part of licence
conditions.
