FSF and SD Merger
Supporters met on Thursday 22nd November 2018 in central London to finalise the merger of the Football Supporters’ Federation and Supporters Direct into one unified organisation at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
Around 100 supporter representatives from clubs across the country came together to rubberstamp plans which were initially discussed at both organisations’ annual conferences in July.
A new chair, vice chair, National Council, and Board has been elected and Kevin Miles was appointed as the organisation’s new chief executive yesterday.
The new organisation’s structure features a National Council which embeds within it fan representatives from clubs at Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two, and National Game (non-league) level.
Six individual fans were also elected and, in addition to this, supporter-owned clubs have their own specially-assigned representatives as does Fans for Diversity.
