Campaigns

The Football Fans Union - www.the-ffu.com

Can the Commercials is a campaign being run to empower all football fans to protest against the role of Carlton & Granada in the ITV Digital fiasco.

The purpose of Can the Commercials is to enable the fans up and down the country to join together and put direct and instant pressure on Carlton & Granada by targeting their main source of income and thereby putting pressure on their share price.

The idea is simple: pledge not to watch ITV during the ad breaks - put the kettle on or grab a can from the fridge instead!

"I am fully supportive of the work being done by the Football Fans Union to give fans a chance to voice their disapproval over Carlton and Granada's actions. This is something the fans can do to help while The Football League pursues Carlton and Granada through the courts to reclaim the £178.5 million that is due to our member clubs."

David Burns, Chief Executive - The Football League
Clubs In Crisis - www.clubsincrisis.com



Clubs In Crisis is maintained by the Brighton And Hove Albion Supporters' Club

This website came into being following the troubles experienced by Brighton & Hove Albion in 1996 when, without the mobilisation of fans across the country using the Internet, the football club would have gone out of business. The aim of this site is to ensure that when any other football club comes into a crisis, then we can generate support and help from fans around the world.

If the football club you love and support is in financial trouble, has directors with dubious intentions, or if your home ground is being sold from under your feet, let us and everybody else know so we can raise the profile of your plight and generate support. Where possible and where needed we will try to give advice or help on some of the ways to unseat your particular tyrant.

This applies both to league clubs and non-league clubs, in any country.
Please note - a Club In Crisis is not a club where your chairman won't put his hand in his pocket for another £10m player!
Football Unites, Racism Divides - www.furd.org



The relationship between 'race' and football takes a number of forms. It has long been the case that a number of fans have used Saturday afternoons at football matches to air their racial prejudices but it is now recognised that this minority of racist fans is only part of the problem. What is also important is how Black and Asian people become involved in football as players, coaches or spectators, the interest they take in football and whether in certain areas they feel excluded. A third issue is the relationship between a professional football club and its local community; that is, whether the association is of mutual advantage or one-sided.
