A ten minute bill which calls for an independent football regulator is expected to be introduced into the House of Commons today.
Backing the bill is Maidstone and Weald MP Helen Grant and Chatham and Aylesford MP Tracey Crouch. Both have been critical of how the National League distributed £10M of National Lottery funding to National League clubs recently.
In particular they noted that Maidstone who play in the National South League received an amount of grant which didn't take into enough account their average attendance.
"The governance of English football is broken and our national game is in crisis as a result," Mrs Grant said as reported by KentOnline.
"Huge financial disparities, outdated governance and vested interests have created a spiral of unsustainability within the game. These issues are not new, but they have been laid bare by the coronavirus pandemic and it is loyal football supporters from communities up and down our country who suffer as a result.
"Unfortunately, supporters of Maidstone United know this better than most, after our town's club unjustifiably lost out financially due to the flawed formula which was used to apportion the emergency Covid-19 National Lottery grant to National League football clubs.
"This is exactly the type of issue that an independent football regulator would address."
