YOU CAN STILL HAVE YOUR SAY
THOUSANDS of Non-League supporters have shared their views on how football should return – and there is still time to submit yours.
The NLP teamed up with The Football Supporters’ Association to launch a survey last week which allows fan opinions to be heard.
The survey has been gathering a picture of the attitudes of spectators to allow clubs and league administrators information that enables them to plan with more certainty.
The results will be shared with The FA and leagues – and will be revealed in next Sunday’s NLP.
The anonymous survey represents the biggest canvassing of opinions across the game since the declaration of the Health Emergency in March and the FA announcement on scenario planning considerations.
Thousands of supporters have completed the quick and easy survey with 40 per cent of responses coming from the National League and 55 per cent of respondents overall attending more than 20 games a season.
The start of the new Non-League season is dependent on Government decisions and the developing picture more widely as lockdown restrictions are eased – but all levels will start at the same time, with fans.
“We give our backing to the FA’s decision that the Non-League season will only start when fans are allowed into grounds,” The FSA said.
“We believe that it is supremely important for the voice of football supporters to be heard in any discussions about the restart of football.
“To obtain the most accurate view of fans of Non-League we urge everyone to share the survey as far and wide as possible.”
