Well I don't remember that £12m bit as it's news to me. Excellent stuff. When I asked what was successful about last year's march you didn't say anything. This is the sort of thing I was looking for.What, realistically, are you hoping to get out of this year's march? Personally, I don't think fans in this country have much to bargain with.
Col,I can't answer every question you post.Some of the things we get aren't always measurable. That one last year has been mentioned several times as it forced the home clubs in the PL to spend that sum on the away fans. How they did it was up to them. Some subsidised travel, some cut prices, some did reciprocal pricing. It was a start. Following on from that we (FSF) have been tasked with doing an audit on all PL clubs with regard to the away fans. For instance, where did the money get spent, where are away fans housed, do clubs abide by the PL rules on numbers? etc etc.As I said it's a start. But we focused on match categorisation yesterday, plus concessionary prices for 16, 18yrs and young adults, who are the ones hit most by the current high prices being charged. If you don't form the habit at that age then you will be lost to the game. The PL, but especially the FL, have agreed to focus on these issues. The next few meetings will work out the practical details of doing so.
You going have to see why when you cant have an opinion different to them without being slagged off. Bring it on themselves....

People like Filo may find comfort in writing these individuals off as children who don't know any better, but perhaps they have a legitimate grievance that the VSC should take note of.
Did n't hear any of these chants on Saturday, had the kids pocket money ran out?
Interestingly, I understand these 'anonymous' chanters have been approached by the DRSG. How on earth did they manage that.Dagenham - do you think Filo's post is mocking them?
ColLet me guess. When the DRSG approached them to ask what was driving them, the answer was something along the lines of: "Me and my mates don't get the stuff that my "old man" is into. So we thought we'd do something for "young adults" by "young adults" about the kind of stuff that "young adults" are interested in. After all, it's "our club too", right!"Is that about it?
