Hi Tykes fans. I'm a Crystal Palace fan and we're trying to drum up a bit of interest in a petition against the EPPP. There's a group called 72Unite over here: http://twitter.com/#!/72unite who have set up a petition with the government. You can get to the petition here: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/21314 Anything that attracts 100,000 signatures has to get voiced in parliament. We've had a couple of protests in the ground down south, but there just doesn't appear to be any buy-in from anyone in power. This leaves it down to the fans to do something. The only way we can be heard is to get together as 72 football league clubs and try to get this noticed. I don't know if you guys have an academy that will be affected or not, but anything that can be done to promote this amongst the fans up your way would be a bonus. Our thread that started this is here: http://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=117805&page=1 Any questions, PM me. We're not even at 400 signatures yet, but never underestimate grass-roots movements. For those unaware of the EPPP, see here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15381652.stm All the best, S
