Our aim is to get as many fans together from as many clubs as possible, to form a fans voice and try and work for change within the FA.

We are always open to suggestions as to what issues regarding the FA you would like tackled, so if you have any ideas, feel free to contact us.

A few of the things we would like to see changed are:

1. Investigate ways in which a youth player should sign first pro contract with the club that produced them.

2. Look into the system, which fines clubs, eg Luton starting the season on -30 points

3. Redistribution of money through the leagues. One possibility could be through cup competitions. i.e In a Premiership v League 2 cup fixture, The gate reciepts would go to League 2 side.

4. If (1) is not viable, fight for a change in the tribunial guidelines, to ensure clubs cannot poach young talent for much less than the current market value.
*************************************

The FA have failed to protect the investment in youth football of lower league teams. They have set the compensation payable by wealthier teams that come in and poach youngsters at an amount that in no way reflects the value of those players. They are open to accusations of bias as they are not independent or seen to be independent. In the recent case of John Bostock for example, Spurs were ordered to pay very little by way of compensation for one of England’s brightest young stars.

In disciplinary proceedings the FA both present and decide on the case. Again this is not fair or independent. In view of the high profile of the game and in order to protect its reputation the Government should put pressure on or legislate for the FA to set up independent Tribunals to deal with all compensation decisions and disciplinary matters. This is because the FA have failed to put their own house in order and failed to govern the game in the interests of all its member clubs.

Alot of people in this country feel angry and upset about the goings on of the FA. Its about time we took our game back, it is after all our game.
We pay, we live, we die, we enjoy, this game is ours. This isnt a group for people to hate the top league. This is a group for the FA to do their job and protect and look after all its members for the best interest of the game, and its national team.

Players are being poached for minimal fee, and stockpiled at Premiership clubs, to the detriment of the club that produced and invested in them, and the entire English game.

Sort the compensation system out and stop losing big english talent to reserve teams up and down the country.
