What is Vote Football? A campaign set up to allow fans of all clubs to tell our politicians we will be "voting for football" on May 7th - meaning we will vote for the candidates and parties that will support legislation to reform football. We want to know who will commit to reform before we commit to vote Who backs it? The FSF - and a growing army of club based fan groups across football - see more here What's the problem? Quite simply we want our clubs to be protected and fans to be consulted. 1.. Club protection: Protect clubs from exploitative, clueless or reckless owners we've seen in the past at too many clubs. Leeds United, Portsmouth, Hereford United, Manchester United, Liverpool, Mansfield Town, York City, Wrexham... the list goes on. 2.. Fan engagement: Enshrine the rights of supporters to be consulted and respected - not ignored and exploited What's the solution? We have outline proposals for Football Governance Legislation and we simply want to get candidates (and MPs/parties, post-election) to commit to supporting legislation which will kick off the internal reform process in football. Can this really make a difference? Yes... politicians are listening like never before. This is what they've said so far in their manifestos: Party manifestos and football _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
