Sadly this season we’ve seen too many games marred by a minority using past tragedies – such as the Hillsborough disaster, Munich air crash or individual fans being killed on foreign soil – to wind up opposition fans.
Football reform was in the news again this week as we hit Parliament, talking to MPs about the need for an independent regulator and what it might look like.
This week the Premier League unveiled its new fan engagement standard, which the league says will “reinforce our clubs’ commitment to ensuring long-term meaningful engagement with supporters”.
Every few years we conduct a national fans survey to assess the state of the game and the views of football supporters.
Those who hold the power in football argue that the creation of an independent regulator is “state control” – but it’s a misleading argument and entirely cynical in its attempts to weaponise the lack of trust in politics to avoid reform.
The EFL has invited all supporters to an upcoming Fans Forum which will look at the current match experience
