Fans' Parliament this Saturday July 24th

Fans’ Parliament is the FSF’s annual conference and is entirely free of charge and open to non-members as well as FSF individual and affiliate members. Get along to Wembley on Saturday July 24th (10am-5.30pm) and see what we’re all about. All registered fans will receive the Fans' Parliament delegate pack which includes a detailed agenda. Guest speakers include:

  • Liberty Director Shami Chakrabarti who will speak at our workshop on policing and stewarding. Don't forget to register for your preferred workshop. Other groups will look at unsustainable club debts and club governance and the lack of safe standing in England's top two leagues.
  • Declan Hill author of The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime is our keynote speaker and will explain his belief that some of the most high-profile games in world football may have been fixed, right up to the Champions League and World Cup finals.

Fans' Blueprint for Football - review

The Fans’ Blueprint for Football was adopted at the 2003 FSF Football Fans’ Parliament at Highbury, last year in Newcastle we began the process of reviewing and updating it. The review will be completed this year when the Fans’ Parliament debates a number of proposed changes to the Blueprint. The Blueprint is a summary of the steps that supporters want taken to improve the game and the lot of the fans within it. You can find the current Blueprint here and the proposed draft changes are here.

Make sure you have your say!

Social events

Fans' Parliament isn't just about Saturday's daytime event:

  • Friday evening, welcome reception at Wembley's Plaza Hotel - have a few beers with fellow fans as well as a game of table football or Subbuteo. Light snacks will be available at the bar and people are arriving from 6pm onwards.
  • Saturday evening, we round off the day with a football quiz, from 7pm to 9pm. It'll be light-hearted fun and don't worry if you don't know anyone - we'll sort a team out for everyone. Register in advance here and get a few free beer tokens too.

Getting to Wembley

The Travel Gods have not been kind to us and Transport for London are reporting that the two main tube lines to Wembley Park (the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) are both closed on July 24th with replacement bus services in operation. But the Bakerloo Line to Wembley Central, and surface trains from Euston to Wembley Central and from Marylebone to Wembley Stadium are unaffected.  Please check your travel plans carefully on www.tfl.gov.uk and/or www.nationalrail.co.uk. There is car parking at Wembley (at a cost of £18 per day) or if you need disabled car parking let us know and we’ll sort this out.
