So, why should YOU join the FSF?
Whether you realise it or not, the FSF are fighting your corner all of the time.
The debacle that was the Champions’ League Final in Athens – the FSF were there and have collected statements and presented a report to UEFA. If we reach the final of this tournament in Turkey we will be better treated there because of the FSF.
Safe standing issues, ticket allocations, prices, kick-off times, the list is endless. We’re working on all of them.
There are two Pompey die-hards on the FSF National Council and two more that regularly work on the England Fans’ Embassies.
We need YOU in the FSF today. You can sign up on line at www.fsf.org.uk for just £14 a year. Your membership helps us to help you. Your voice counts. Go on, you know it makes sense!
