What they say
Bruce George MP
''Walsall Football Club may not belong financially to the community of Walsall, but it is an integral part of that community. I welcome this initiative to give the supporters of Walsall FC a voice in the running of their club via a shareholding.''
Councillor Garry Perry
believes that "the involvement of terrace supporters and those with a genuine interest in the game can only assist the club in its endeavours to gain promotion and further the bonds that should exist between the club and its fans."
On Supporters Direct
Chris Smith MP
''I am delighted this new partnership between Government, the Football Trust [now Foundation] and the Co-op Bank has taken shape, offering a package of legal and financial expertise to supporter groups. Our aim is to give fans the chance to play a responsible part in the life of the clubs they support.''
Tom Pendry MP
''Fans are central to the development of football, which would wither and die without them. Supporters invest heavily in the game and have a right to be consulted. Clubs should look to earn, not expect, support from fans. This initiative is an important step forward in allowing the voice of supporters to be heard.''
Kevin Keegan, former England Coach
''This groundbreaking new initiative will help forge stronger links between clubs and their fans. It will hopefully provide new opportunities for supporters to become more involved in the running of their football clubs and perhaps gain more of an understanding of the difficulties which that entails. I wish the initiative every success.''
