THREE Premier League supporters groups gave their unequivocal backing for Fair Game today in a move that represents a huge boost for the organisation’s aims to overhaul the governance of football.
Sue Watson, the Chair of West Ham United Supporters' Trust, said: ”West Ham United Supporters' Trust is proud to stand with Fair Game and fully endorse Fair Game Week. Now is the time to act to protect our history, our heritage not just for us but for those that will come after us.”
Premier League Supporters groups oppose Champions League changes that will entrench the richest clubs; damage the English football pyramid; and rip off fans.
Our groups represent fans that support teams across the Premier League.
We are united in opposition to proposals to reform the Champions League that are a back door attempt to return to the discredited idea of a European Super League.
We have been working on the Government’s Fan-Led Review of Football Governance since it was first announced in April 2021.
You can read about our involvment and our presentation to Tracey Crouch as part of the review process on the Fan-led Review section on our website.
The Fan-led Review of Football Governance proposed ideas which could radically transform our game for the better – and we want West Ham supporters across England and Wales to do their bit and ensure that the Government implements those recommendations.

Read MoreThe thoughts and prayers of West Ham United Supporters’ Trust and the West Ham community are with the people of Ukraine as they resist the invasion of their country.
Many West Ham fans are descended from families who endured night after night of bombing raids during the Blitz.
That spirit lives on with the incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of an enemy trying to bomb them into submission, as well as the bravery of ordinary people in Russia and Belarus taking massive risks to protest against war and their dictatorial leaders.

Read MoreJanuary’s transfer window has closed. It’s yet another disaster in which West Ham United failed to sign a single player. I was shocked that we didn’t sign more players in the summer window, purely because we needed more squad depth if we were trying to compete in the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League. But to let another window pass by is just inexcusable.
