FANS GET BEHIND THE 3UP MISSION

THE National League have received welcome support for their 3UP Campaign from the Football Supporters' Association (FSA).

A motion at the FSA's Annual General Meeting in Manchester last week end stated that the FSA should incorporate 3UP into its official policy “to support the growing campaign for three promotion and relegation places between the National League and EFL's League Two”.

In practice, this means the FSA will now formally discuss and advocate on the issue with both The Football Association and the English Football League during their regular 'structured dialogue' sessions throughout the year.

The FSA will also encourage support from its fan groups in its League One, League Two and National League networks.

A poll of 1,980 FSA members found 93% were in support of the idea with 83% of EFL fans also backing the proposal.

Just over 90% say change would make the system fairer, and enhance the attractiveness of the sporting pyramid.
