FA respond to Trust over rebranding
Posted by admin in Trust News
The Trust has received an encourging response to its plea for supporters to be consulted on club colour and badge changes . We are still waiting for a response from the Premier League to the letter sent on March 27.
This is what Jonathan Hall, Director of Football Services at the FA told the Trust chair Tim Hartley and board member, Phillip Nifield:
We understand the importance of the issues that you’ve referred to in your letter and appreciate your observations regarding the involvement of supporters in the approval process that deals with changes to club playing names. We felt that seeking a view from supporters as part of that process was important.
We will be happy to consider whether to extend that process or introduce a different mechanism in relation to club colours, badges and crests as you suggest – however, we would, of course, need to consult and debate that with the leagues and County FAs who represent the member clubs.
The issues are often far from straightforward and there is, inevitably, a balance to be struck between the view of supporters as well as others, including those that own and invest in the clubs.
I will liase with my colleague, Darren Bailey, Director of Governance and Regulation, who would deal with such matters, so that we can discuss with others, including our colleagues at the Premier League and Football Association.
Thank you for raising this issue with us.

any step forward is a step I the right direction however sadly now more than ever in football money talks and the FA FAW FIFA UEFA and all footballing bodies know that fans are second rate citizens compared to the rich. rich ppl care little about our opinions even tho with out us they they wouldn't actually be that rich
