That this House notes that football is now a multi-million pound industry but that the supporters that sustain the game are not treated as significant stakeholders, especially at national level; therefore believes the Football Supporters' Federation initiative, Time for Fans to Have a Say, is timely; welcomes examples of good practice at local level where some clubs, especially those that have active supporters' trusts and other fan organisations, are now consulting and involving supporters; calls on all in football to follow this good practice; believes that fans' organisations should be supported by the football industry; and supports the establishment of appropriate consultative arrangements so that fans' views can be sought on issues such as constant fixture changes, new broadcasting contracts, reductions in ticket allocations for away fans, measures to combat racism in football, policing and stewarding at football matches, and potential changes to national and domestic competitions.
