A WINNING GOAL
by RAY FLEMING
THE news that Labour may be including proposals for giving football fans a chance to invest in, or even own, the clubs they support is likely to re-energise the election campaign and push voter turn-out to heights not seen for decades! If 44'000 Southampton fans can travel to Wembley Stadium to see their side win the Johnstone' Paint Trophy - as they did on Saturday - then there must be votes in football. The Labour party has been looking at this matter in a desultory way for several years but seems to have speeded up proposals in the light of the widespread dissatisfaction with the way in which English football is mismanaged nowadays. Another factor in getting a move on may have been the likelihood of UEFA intervention in the financing and administration of football clubs.
