I went to an FSF meeting of the same title in London two years ago and it was well attended and well received. Quite heated at times though not in an aggressive way.

I do advise booking your seat early as it will be being promoted throughout the north west and Yorkshire too.

Here is the direct link to book it

Even if you cannot make it, please join the FSF today - it's absolutely free so you have nothing to lose! The FSF is only as strong as its membership.

Hoping to see lots of City fans at this event...

Judging from some of the threads on the fourm, I'm sure you can keep our panel very busy answering your questions about policing and stewarding.

If you've not already registered, do so today!

As you may be aware, your club have kindly agreed to host our event "Watching Football Is Not a Crime". Peter Fletcher and Chief Supt Mark Roberts are among those on the panel:

This is an ideal opportunity for you to take your various issues off the forums and address them to those responsible for policing and stewarding at the stadium and hear the views of legal experts.

It's completely free, all you have to do is register and I very much hope to meet plenty of you there next week.

Interesting event, hope the voice of all UK fans is collectively heard.

Apparently numbers are going well for this event, so if you are thinking of going you need to act fast!

Would have thought with all the recent posts about Show Sec / stewarding / policing etc there would be a few Blue Mooners signing up.

Maybe a few smokers too ;) ha ha

In unrelated news, The Reformed Bolshevik Front of White Russia is hosting a conference in Minsk from March the 22nd to March the 24th to affirm the propositions that the accumulation and trading of capital is in the best interests of the industrial class and that capitalists are not criminals.
