Fans and supporters’ organisations will debate the key issues at the heart of the game and one of the stand-out sessions will involve discussion of the ongoing campaign to return the Back to Blue at Cardiff City.
The sessions will include high profile figures from football, sport, media and politics, including Clive Efford MP and Valerio Casagrande, Chief Financial Officer of Italian Serie B and Pat Lyons, chair of the Irish FORAS Trust and Cork City FC.
Trust board member Brian Mertens will be among the panellists along with Chris Cooper (City Till we Die), football writer James Horncastle, James Montague, who writes for the New York Times and World Soccer in a discussion on Fixing Football.
Trust member Jeff Mansfield will also be present at the event which also has sessions on Away Fans, Protecting Club Identity, Supporter Liaison Officers, Licensing System, Fans and the media, Fans for diversity, Financial Fair Play, Supporters’ Trusts, Safety Advisory Groups and a Q&A by the Blizzard.
The AGMs of both organisations will be held on the evening of July 25.
Last year’s Supporters Summit, held at St. George’s Park, included debates on governance, ownership, transparency, ticket pricing, discrimination and safe standing.
