FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY AFTERNOONS

Early day motion 890, tabled 26 February 2002 by Ian Gibson (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House welcomes the Norwich Evening News 'Save our Saturday Football' campaign; notes that the domination of fixture-setting by television companies results in football fans facing hastily re-arranged fixtures to any day of the week and to any destination; and calls on the football authorities and clubs to consult the fans before making precipitate decisions.
