Newcastle United Supporters Trust

550 German fans from 60 different clubs came together in Berlin last weekend to tackle the big issues at Fan Kongress 2012 – and the Football Supporters’ Federation was in attendance to see how they do things on the continent.

Chelsea boss Andrea Villas-Boas has said that Premier League clubs should be allowed to buy Football League clubs and turn them into Spanish-style feeder sides. The FSF think he’s talking gubbins, obviously, so we thought we’d run a totally balanced, fair, and objective poll on it.

Fifth placed Arsenal are the outsiders of this particular bunch at 100/1.

Only one week later Carlisle's game at MK Dons is postponed pre-match. But this time the response from the home team is much better with offers of refunds, free tickets, and even some free travel for away fans.
