This from the FSA:
Supporter groups from across the country have co-signed a letter to the major party leaders this week calling on them to include a committment to the Football Governance Bill in their pre-election manifestos.
Following the announcement this week that the much-anticipated general election will be held in July we sadly learned that the Football Governance Bill would not be among the pieces of legislation included in the end-of-Parliament "wash up" convention.
Over the last 24 hours more than 170 supporter groups (and some community-owned clubs) have co-signed a letter to the major parties urging them to include this bill in their manifesto and, should they win the election, to work with the FSA in a new Parliament to reintroduce legislation in the first King’s Speech.
Penned by FSA chief executive Kevin Miles and chair of the Fan-led Review Tracey Crouch the letter says: "This legislation contained key principles which would block future breakaway leagues, improve financial sustainability, protect club heritage and give fans a greater say in how the game and the clubs they love are run.
"There was cross party support for the bill which was endorsed by football supporters up and down the land – including the FSA’s own member groups whose influence greatly helped to shape the legislation."
