Independent, membership-based association providing representation and advocacy for football supporters across Australia and New Zealand.
We recently wrote to the WA Deputy Premier outlining our concerns regarding the proposed @seriea.bsky.social fixture in Perth.
We all appreciate the support for football, but at a time where junior rego fees are rising rapidly, we feel the reported $21m can be better spent within the local game.
