Use the TV money to reduce ticket prices – protest planned

The Football Supporters’ Federation will lead a demonstration of fans at the next meeting of the Premier League’s shareholders (the clubs) held in central London on Thursday 26 March.

The Premier League has  signed a new TV deal worth £5.14bn for the domestic rights alone. The FSF  wants to lobby club owners, chairmen, and chief executives to #ShareTVWealth – that means cheaper tickets for fans and a fairer distribution of football’s wealth throughout the Football League, non-league, and grassroots.

The protest in central London will deliver that message directly to PL clubs. The exact time/venue is to be confirmed – and depends on the venue of the meeting – but register and as soon as the FSF finds out they will let you know. 

The increase in the new TV agreement over the current deal equates to around £46 for every fan at every PL game.

Actions suggested by the FSF

  1. Register for the #ShareTVWealth protest in central London on Thursday 26th March via protest@fsf.org.uk. The FSF will confirm exact time/venue ASAP.
  2. Sign the #ShareTVWealth petition which automatically emails QPR to demand cheaper tickets and more money for lower league/grassroots.
  3. Spread the word! Share this page via Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
