Welcome to fssf.co.uk, a website dedicated to helping football clubs in England and Wales navigate through the current financial crisis. We aim to raise funds directly from fans, benefiting the clubs, their local communities, and supporters alike. You don’t need to be a member of any supporters’ club; so anyone can contribute to their favourite team right here on our site.
Football Supporters Supporting Football Limited was established as a non-profit organization by a concerned individual who was disheartened to see his local club facing financial troubles. Despite only being a Southend United follower, he understands the importance of supporting local teams and opposing unnecessary points deductions. These primarily affect the fans, with many attending every game, while others may support their local team in other ways, like checking match results, all united in wanting to prevent their club from disappearing like Bury FC.
How will we raise funds?
The plan is to request that each supporters club encourages its members to contribute a monthly fee of £2.95 through social media platforms, directing these funds to fssf.co.uk. This strategy will support all clubs and their communities. Additionally, donors will be entered into a monthly “Thank You Draw,” offering them the chance to win various items linked through their teams club shop. Eventually, we will be able to advertise through the network of matchday programs, TV and radio. We will be looking to various celebrities, to put the message out on social media too.
Furthermore, we will empower fans through their supporters’ clubs to have a say in how the funds are used, keeping club owners from making unilateral financial decisions with the funds raised through fssf.co.uk.
Do I need to belong to a supporters club?
No, membership is not required. You can easily set up a Direct Debit on this site using the Buy Now option.
