The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend

 

We all hold rivalries close to our heart-and long may this be so, but the world in general and football in particular has changed drastically.

The very game we fell in love with all those years ago has been hijacked and sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder. If we can talk together, old rivals can work together and stand up for the game we love!

 

So what can we do-well those who care and long for the fans to be put back at the heart of the game can either continue as they are, or you can step out of your comfort zone and join the Affordable Football Alliance- a new free forum- all that is required is a positive non confrontational attitude.

 

As most forums understandably look dimly on spamming you can find the forum address either in my profile details or just google Affordable Football Alliance. We are very new so get in there early and share your views on the direction of the modern game, and what can be done to change the balance of power.

 

The key difference on the AFA forum is that all fans from the height of the premierships to non league are welcome IF they come with a real burning desire to Reclaim the Game. The 5 simple aims are:-

 

Support fans groups who seek to keep admission prices affordable.

 

Encourage discussions and campaigns between different fans groups from Aberdeen to Brighton-Ipswich to Swansea –no more divide and conquer.

 

Actively support efforts to establish singing sections and flag displays.

 

Remind clubs that long term grass roots fans are more important than corporate customers.

 

Support the idea that it is good for the game and not disloyal for fans of the larger clubs to perhaps support a non league or fan owned club close to home. This will help grow the grass roots that are at the heart of football.
