Chair’s Report:
The Chair provided a written report, including comment on current campaigns and events within FSF. The meeting noted that: Regular changes to kick off times was a continuing problem; The FSF’s 20’s Plenty campaign was felt to be a reasonable demand for Premiership clubs, with their access to TV income etc, but that it could cause problems for lower league clubs where gate money was a much more significant part of their income.
There had been discussion of subsidised travel for away fans, rather than a cap on admission charges – this was considered an inappropriate answer to the problem.
The Chair’s Report was accepted by the meeting.
Moved: Tony RoomeSecond: Paul Ellix
Secretary/Treasurer’s Report

It was also agreed that the Secretary should press FSF for us to have a Southern Region page on the website.
