Modern Football

We need to make sure that football stays accessible to the biggest number of supporters; we need to categorically reject a significant rise in ticket prices and to defend a quota for eight-euro tickets.

We need to fight the obligation to sit; on the people’s stands, people have the right to stand!

We need to ensure that supporters and full stadiums are favored over the interests of television: weekend games need to have priority over weekday games; no Monday games in the Second League; kick-off times on weekdays at 8 p.m.; kick-off times that suit the majority of the spectators, i.e., no weekday games at 4 p.m., no Sunday games at 9 p.m., etc.

We need to ensure that the logos and the historical colors of our clubs are maintained, and we need to condemn changes that have solely the purpose of selling merchandise: club shirts have to be limited to two, one for home and one for away games; the shirts for away games must only be used if necessary to avoid confusion with the home team.

We need to reject organizations like the G14.

We need to fight against the stock market identity of the clubs and against developments that exclusively serve the interests of shareholders; the clubs must prioritize sport over profit; the winter trading period must be abolished.

We need to strengthen the power of the Football Association’s Ethical Council.

We need to prevent the sale of licenses for club names to be used in non-sports-related contexts.

We need to ensure that alcohol is not only prohibited on the people’s stands, but also in the VIP boxes.

We need to ensure that players are allowed to celebrate goals with the supporters.

We need to ensure that TV rights are distributed justly.

We need to reject the system of seeded teams and return to an open draw.
