Description
We're delighted to welcome Kevin Miles, CEO of the Football Supporters' Association, to our Autumn members' event. Kev has represented the interests of football fans nationally and internationally to key stakeholders including the FA, Premier League, UEFA and FIFA for over two decades, having previously worked in journalism and broadcasting.
A season ticket holder at Newcastle United, Kev also runs the FSA's Fans’ Embassy for travelling England supporters at all major tournaments, editing the Free Lions fanzine, and you may well have seen him on the telly representing match-going fans to the media. We’re extremely fortunate to have him share his knowledge and experience with us.
Hosted by THST Co-chairs, Martin Cloake and Kat Law, we'll be covering the key topics affecting fans both at home and on the continent, including:
• European Super League proposals: current situation and how we can help
• Safe standing: latest update
• European Price Cap: latest update
• European Finals lobbying: Six point plan
• Broadcast scheduling
• VAR
You'll learn a lot about issues affecting all football fans, have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and leave with a clear idea as to how you can help us advance key issues.
Join us at our usual home of CMS at Cannon Street for a 7pm start.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Organiser Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust
Organiser of Who will think of the fans? In conversation with Kevin Miles of the FSA
We are an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation run by fans for fans. We aim to ensure fans’ voices are heard at Club and national level.
We work with Spurs fan groups across the UK and the rest of the world, and alongside national umbrella body, The Unified Football Supporters Organisation.
THST is run on a day-to-day basis by an elected board of fans. Elections are held every year. All board members are volunteers, which means they are not paid for their work, and give up their own time. To preserve THST’s independence, board members receive nothing for the work they do.
We work hard to ensure a fan perspective is considered in all decisions. We base our approach on the regular surveys we carry out, on the feedback we get, and on our own experiences and discussions with fans.
We are Spurs fans first and foremost, but we believe the issues we face are similar to fans everywhere. So we are committed to being part of a growing network of national and international supporter groups.
Our main areas of work at THFC and nationally are ticket pricing, fixture scheduling, policing and safety, and governance. Our remit extends to all off-field matters.
And we work with the local community to strengthen ties between the Club and the area in which it is based.
We have established a successful dialogue with THFC. To continue doing so, and to build on our achievements so far, we need as many Spurs fans as possible to join us.
