Football fans have united in their condemnation of ITV Digital's refusal to
honour their multi-million television contract by launching a campaign to save their financially-threatened clubs.
The Football Supporters Association and the National Federation of Football Supporters have set up a website for fans to register their displeasure at media giants Carlton and Granada's insistence on a renegotiation of their deal to televise Nationwide League matches after ITV Digital was placed into administration.
Malcolm Clarke, FSA chairman, said: "This is a vital issue for the future of our game.
"Fans are standing shoulder to shoulder with their clubs and the Football League on this and we have to put pressure on these two corporate bullies."
And Alan Bloore, deputy chairman of the NFFS, added: "Fans all over the country are horrified by the behaviour of these two media giants.
"We urge all fans to visit the site, vote in the poll and send their views direct to ITV Digital."
The website address is www.saveourclubs.org.

Right, their's a place supplying the "guns & ammo" all you've got to do is visit www.saveourclubs.org and pull the trigger!
Go on, what the f*** are you waiting for?
Regards,
Kev.

This story doesn't get to much coverage in Australia believe it or not, but if a company went bust, how could the clubs sue it if it's bankrupt, and therefore has no money to give to the clubs, which is why it went bust in the first place?
