Supporters Direct Scotland Survey 2011 – 4 more days to score your views

This year’s survey has topical questions about:

-        league structures

-        television revenues and their distribution

-        season starts and winter closedown

-        supporter representation on club boards

-        supporter representation on national football issues

-        support for a Scottish Football Supporters Network

Last year’s survey caused a storm when fans indicated they were at odds with Scottish Premier League plans for restructuring. This year there are more questions and a specific section about establishing a Scottish Football Supporters Network as a voice of the fans body.

Alan Harris, Chair of the Scottish Council of Supporters Direct commented: “It’s really important that football supporters the length and breadth of Scotland have their say on the topical issues of the day affecting the game they love and support. Last year, our first survey showed that football fans were at odds with the SPL’s plans for restructuring. This year we are asking more questions and on a broader range of subjects, including whether fans would support a Scottish Football Supporters Network and what they would want it to do. The survey will close in 4 days time and I want every football supporter to respond this year and so that we make the voice of fans loud and clear.”
