A Better Vision for Football

Saturday 12th June 2010 - Sunday 13th June 2010

Organiser: Supporters Direct

A national conference is to be held (12-13 June 2010) to allow football fans from across the country to offer their views on the Government’s commitment to giving supporters a greater say in the running of their clubs.

The conference is being organised on the back of a growing political consensus about the potential for football fans to buy out their clubs by setting up cooperatives, similar to those that already own and run clubs like FC Barcelona and Hamburg SV. The new Coalition Government has pledged to support the creation of mutually-owned clubs in its “Programme for government”.

Co-operative Social Firms research report (2006)

Social Firms UK commissioned this report to explore how and why Social Firms choose particular organisational structures, and in particular, why so few Social Firms actually choose to set up as co-operatives. It also looks at whether and how the legal/financial environment and other relevant factors, such as advice and models available, might be changed to makethe choice of organisational structures a more transparent and effective process.
