Day Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It's time for action against the EFL, without fans football is nothing. It's time for fans across the Football League to unite and show the EFL how unhappy we are, this isn't just about us, it's about the 72 clubs in this league being run by an organisation that is quite simply not fit for purpose. We can sing duck the EFL every week but it will fall on deaf ears, this needs to go further, this needs action where the EFL will sit up and take notice and listen to fans concerns as it can't continue. They are ruining football as we know it. Derby, Birmingham, Bury, Charlton, Wigan, Sheff Wed, Macclesfield. It's time for a change, time for our voices to be truly heard and demand change, let's use this platform, the community we have built to stand against this organisation and work with other clubs to bring that change. At a time where clubs are suffering financially, the clubs we love, make history not for the wrong reasons but for the good, let's come together now and make a difference.

Tyler Durden Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Most decisive action within the clubs sphere of influence is making sure that it doesn't have to deal with the EFL ever again. No pressure Phil and Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you. I’m sick of them. I guess we need to come up with a few suggestions of what we can do then approach other clubs’ supporters. Would we do that via other fans forums or by contacting official supporters clubs or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't mean to mock. I won't keep poking throughout this thread as I hope you start something that achieves what you're hoping it will - but I have cynical views when it comes to situations like this. I truly believe the businessmen in the EFL would happily sit-back and line their pockets while tying clubs into contracts and force them to go bust before they'd respond to fan action. Football is nothing without the fans; but they, as individuals, can gain a whole lot of £££ killing football. I'm also not convinced fan voices are particularly quiet on the state of the EFL, as it is, either. At the end of the day its the clubs who have to do something about the EFL - but as a united front. A group of clubs less than all of them won't risk everything. Now if the fans can generate a movement that unified the clubs against the EFL; my cynicism in regards to competition reform will lift. Until then, I will remain skeptical. But as I say, I'll respectfully leave you to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
