    Signed yesterday, and emailed my MP - much good that will do judging by previous times I have contacted him on footballing matters, but at least I've tried!

    Unfortunately, tribalism is our worst enemy as football fans, with very few signatures per constituency outside of the Wigan catchment.  Eltham, Old Bexley & Sidcup, and Greenwich & Woolwich leading the signature numbers in London, but even so <300 for the 3 constituencies combined.  https://petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com/?petition=331589&area=lon

  • Its a shame this petition isn't getting more people to sign it.

    Anyone have any bright ideas how it can be publicised more?

    I think it's just us and Wigan who feel directly connected to this petition at the present time. Barnsley fans don't want to feel they're  supporting a Wigan effort  of getting out the bottom 3. 

    Luton have mostly myopic fans who are still too happy about staying up last time I looked at the Luton Outlaws board. We could try both clubs fan boards again after wigan's appeal on 31st July.

    Done yesterday evening, also e-mailed my MP James Brokenshire MP for Sidcup & old Bexley.

    Mentioned Wigan's Petition also mentioned " A way forward for football " by Damian Collins MP and Charlie Methven, co - owner of Sunderland FC.

    Posted this in the EFL email thread but as it's relevant to this one I'll put it in here too.

    I contacted my MP telling him about the petition and asking if there's anything he could do to help. I just received this reply:

    Thank you for writing to me about this very important issue.

    The state of professional football clubs is one that I have been particularly concerned about during the pandemic, and in May I wrote, along with the Football Supporters Association and 18 other MPs, to the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the English Football League and the Football Association to set out a six-point plan to save clubs from bankruptcy and expulsion from the League. Please find attached to this email the letter for you to read.

    I have also further set out my thinking on this issue, and my six-point plan, in an article with Charlie Methven, co-owner of Sunderland AFC. You can read this article, entitled ‘A way forward for football’, on my website here: https://damiancollins.com/a-way-forward-for-football/.

    Please do let me know if you receive a response from the EFL, and rest assured that I continue to take a close interest in this issue.

    Kind regards,
     
    Damian Collins

    I have signed and got six others (friends and neighbours) to sign as well. Am going to send an email to CAST to suggest they contact the FSA (Football Supporters Association) and get them to circulate to every EFL club.

    Take your point but football fans are often less blinkered than we might think. 

    For example has anyone got an account on a Brighton board? I bet a good few of their fans would sign.
