National Fan Survey

Hoof for this - important to gather as many opinions as possible.
Remember the FSA is the official voice of football fans as far as government is concerned.

From Football Supporters Association
Every few years we conduct a national fans survey to assess the state of the game and the views of football supporters – and you can fill in the 2023 FSA National Supporters Survey here.

The last of these fans’ censuses was conducted in 2017, to which more than 8,000 fans from across the football pyramid gave their opinions.

A lot has happened in the six years since we last polled supporters – the introduction of VAR, the COVID-19 pandemic, the spectre of the European Super League raising its head and the subsequent Fan-led Review of football governance to name but a few major impacts on our game.

As such, we felt it was time to take the temperature of football fans again.

The 2017 football fan – what did we think?

These ‘state of the nation’ surveys not only help the FSA in terms of giving us insight into the things that you find important to help shape our campaigns, they are also a useful snapshot in time to look back on and chart fans’ changing opinions.

Back in our 2017 survey, would you believe a large majority of supporters agreed that video technology should be used to help referees in game-changing decisions (74.6%)? Our subsequent VAR survey found support for the technology has vanished since its implementation.

Take part!

Despite being a comprehensive survey covering a range of topics, it should take the average user only around ten minutes to complete.

The results of the survey will be published at the end of season.

 
Is it definitely worth doing? Did the 2017 survey influence any changes?
Yes I would say so because FSA were the representative fan body tasked with working with Tracey Crouch on the Fan-Led Football Review and obviously FSA drew on the 2017 survey as well lots of face to face and other supporter engagement.

(Great to see this Boro fan photo being used for the survey)

 
Done.

I think the FSA seem to have the ability to influence policy, both within football and government.

Worth 5 minutes of anyone's time.
 
Is the twenty is plenty campaign still a thing or has this fallen by the wayside?
It succeeded in the Premier League - but the reality is it cannot succeed in the EFL where ticketing is such an important part of the overall income. Instead a fan survey has been conducted of admissions etc and it looks like showing there are one or two clubs charging way over the odds. Not sure whether Bristol City fall into this category. Anyway, the best hope really is that pressure can be put on those clubs to fall into line with everyone else.
