City Fans United Statement on Supporters Direct Funding

Like many Supporters Trusts around the country, City Fans United, owners of Chester Football Club, are saddened and dismayed by the news that the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF) have decided to withdraw its funding to Supporters Direct.

 

The decision to cut funding threatens the very existence of Supporters Direct, and with it their objectives of encouraging wider fan involvement in the running of clubs up and down the country in a sustainable and community-focussed manner.

Membership Renewals 2011/12

It’s been a successful season for Chester FC and City Fans United, and our congratulations go to Neil Young, his management team, and of course the players of Chester Football Club for achieving a Championship winning promotion at the first attempt!

 

Now, we are looking to all members of City Fans United to help push us to the next level, as we enter the summer period where planning for next season continues, and what better way to help than by renewing your CFU membership if you’ve not already done so…if you have then thank you very much, your support is truly appreciated. (Please note, Life memberships from the Chester City Supporters Trust / Chester City Independent Supporters Association that were previously in place will be honoured through City Fans United membership, so no need to renew, but if you would still like to make a donation instead as others have done, then that will also be appreciated but not expected).
