hello all forum users
We are currently trying to drum up interest in a petition against the EPPP. There's a group called 72Unite over here:
http://twitter.com/72unite who have set up a petition with the government. You can get to the petition here:
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/21314Anything that attracts 100,000 signatures has to get voiced in parliament. 20,000 to make the first page of petitions which means it’ll get media attention, 8,000 to make the second page.
Its already on the first page of the Media Culture and Sport but needs 40,000 signatures to be the biggest in that department, 16,000 to make the top 5.
We've had a couple of protests at Selhurst Park but there just doesn't appear to be any buy-in from anyone in power. This leaves it down to the fans to do something. The only way we can be heard is to get together as 72 football league clubs and try to get this noticed.
I don't know if you guys have an academy that will be affected or not, but anything that can be done to promote this amongst the fans up your way would be a bonus.
For those unaware of the EPPP, see here:
