Ken Loach

once said Supporters Direct has been the saving grace of New Labour. Now the grassroots activism is needed more than ever

As followers across the country prepare for another season of Premier League predictable fatigue, Newcastle United, the club with the most absurd of the nation, has provided another drawing to mark the burlesque beginning of the football calendar. After a prank involving room lines, Twitter, and George Orwell, Joey Barton, perhaps the last remaining good player NUFC, on Monday, exiled to the transfer list of free clubs. Not the first time, fans were left bewildered in the idiocy of a mysterious club management offered no explanation for this haemorrhage of staff, a few days before the start of the new campaign.

For now, the fan base Newcastle, like many other British clubs, is used to being kept in the dark, while the elite game game of roulette company with their cultural heritage. And for a long time, it seemed as if there was an alternative to the cowboy culture of spectacular mismanagement, exploitation and PR-deception. In football, as in British society as a whole, obedience to corporate interests has always been considered the only realistic way of implementing the program.


NUST The example shows that football fans are starting to come together to form collective democratic organizations, and significantly, using a model created by a Labour government that was contrary decidedly reluctant behind-the grassroots activism in his time in office (director Ken Loach, once called Supporters Direct "the only good thing that New Labour has done"). Conversations about football are often colored by cynicism, condescension and ridicule, or worse, by a suggestion that football fans are likely to use the far right at the first opportunity. But the example of the motion of confidence of the followers of work authorized to offer a much more positive British left trying to recover his soul after the falsity of the Blair years?

I hope someday in the near future, supporters trusts, "as NUST will achieve its objective of seizing power of Russian oligarchs and sportswear tycoons currently keep control of the modern game behind a wall of silence from the audience convincingly. Instead of investing effort in technocratic public relations initiatives, such as the "Great Society" and "Blue Labour", perhaps those interested in the reform of our elitist, top-down society should consider the collective spontaneous, bottom-up efforts by the motion of confidence of the fans in opposing injustice and indecency, and take this as inspiration for a more complete reconstruction of infrastructure of democratic Britain.
