About Us

Welcome to FSSF, a website dedicated to helping football clubs in England and Wales navigate through the current financial crisis. We aim to raise funds directly from fans, benefiting the clubs, their local communities, and supporters alike. You don’t need to be a member of any supporters’ club; so anyone can donate to their favourite team right here on our site.

Football Supporters Supporting Football was established as a non-profit organization by a concerned individual who was disheartened to see his local club facing financial troubles. Despite being a Southend United follower, he understands the importance of supporting local teams and opposing unnecessary points deductions. These primarily affect the fans, with many attending every game, while others may support their local team in other ways, like checking match results, all united in wanting to prevent their club from disappearing like Bury FC.

How will we raise funds?

The plan is to request that each supporters club encourages its members to contribute a monthly donation of £**** through social media platforms, directing these contributions to fssf.co.uk. This strategy will support all clubs and their communities. Additionally, donors will be entered into a monthly “Thank You Draw,” offering them the chance to win various items linked to the club they support.

In terms of funding, our strategy involves redistributing the money we raise. For example, 25% of the funds collected through a Premier League club fanbase will go directly back to the Premier League club, and another 25% will be allocated equally among lower league teams in the League 1, League 2, The Conference, WSL, and Welsh Super League. This amount will be pooled and shared amongst the 96 teams monthly. Furthermore, we empower fans through their supporters’ clubs to have a say in how the funds are used, keeping club owners from making unilateral financial decisions.

Do I need to belong to a supporters club?

No, membership is not required. You can easily set up a Direct Debit on this site using the Buy Now option.

Funds Allocation Overview:

• • 50% of the raised funds go to the Supporters Club via FSSF, however, if the club is in the Premier League, only 25% is allocated to the Supporters Club with the other 25% distributed among clubs in League 1, League 2, the Conference League, WSL, and Cymru Premier League.

• • 20% of the funds are dedicated to club-related projects and this applies to all clubs.
