Football: The Sweeper - Fan Power
Your chance to reclaim the game
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NEXT WEEK sees the official launch of a national umbrella group for football supporters which aims to bring together more than 100 different fans' groups with the common aim of having a say in how the game is run.
The first official meeting of the Coalition of Football Supporters (CLFS) will take place on Thursday, 12 August, at 11.30am, at Birkbeck College, London. Ostensibly a media launch, fans are also welcome to attend. Contact the Football Supporters' Association (details below) for more information.
SHOULD MANCHESTER UNITED disregard the will of their fans and pull out of the FA Cup? Why are tickets so expensive and allowed to rise way beyond inflation every year? Who monitors those in control of the game to make sure they're acting in the interests of everyone who plays and watches? Why are fans not allowed a say in the running of most clubs until they've nearly gone bust? What can be done to reduce the wealth gap between the richest and poorest in the game? Does football need an independent regulator? Fan Power will look at these issues each week and give you a chance to voice your concerns.
