Supporters Direct gets its money

Supporters Direct has had its grant of £268,292 from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund restored.  The grant was frozen in May after the chief executive of Supporters Direct, Dave Boyle, made disparaging remarks on Twitter about the MK Dons.  Boyle is a keen AFC Wimbledon fan.  He subsequently resigned.   The Stadia Improvement Fund receives £6m of funding from the Premier League.

It supports over 180 supporters’ trusts across the country.   We have one at our non-league club, although there are sometimes questions about its relationship to other club structures which even at that level can be quite complex.    Supporters Direct has given valuable advice to the club on its future plans for enhancing community provision.
