On the 17th of July, Fair Game will release its much anticipated and needed ‘Fair Game Index’. The Index will rank all 92 Premier League and EFL clubs, using 4 criteria, taken from Tracey Crouch's Fan-Led Review; financial sustainability, governance, fan engagement and equality standards.*
*
Using Fair Game’s Index, those who are well-run would be rewarded financially according to their performance against the 4 criteria. The funds to reward our well-run clubs would be collected from Premier League transfer levies and a fairer distribution of the current astronomical TV revenues.*
*
In recent times, a large proportion of football clubs seem to have been run through a ‘boom or bust’ nature, putting at risk the livelihoods of those working at our clubs and the clubs themselves,* which often act as an anchor of the local community. In 2019, Bury FC, who had 125 years in the Football League, were expelled from the EFL and dissolved due to bankruptcy. Meanwhile in 2020, Macclesfield Town received a winding-up order which ended their 146 year-old history with English football.*
*
Fair Game's Index and its proposed new distribution of funding would put an end to that gambling culture and reward well-run clubs.
*
Find out how Crystal Palace did by going to the Fair Game website on July the 17th. If you register you can also see how much they would get from the proposed funding model. Please also write to your MP or local Councillor and ask them to support the creation of an Independent Regulator for English Football, or ask your club to become a Fair Game Club.

Together we can create a fairer future for football.
