Rejected petition A Football Fans Charter or Constitution.

Groups such as the Premier League wield enormous power and can change the game without proper consultation of football fans.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You seem to want fans to play a role in the running and/or scrutiny of football clubs but the petition doesn't specify what role they would play or how this would work.

In any event, the UK Government's responsibility in this area is incredibly limited, as football clubs and the governing bodies such as the EPL and FA are private, autonomous businesses.

Given your concerns about the ownership and governance of football clubs, you might however wish to sign this petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/331589

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
