The results of a major survey into The State of the Game have just been released, according to this report in today's Observer, and some of the results do not make for happy reading. Amongst the more worrying revelations is the news that asian and black football supporters are still put off attending matches because of the threat of racist abuse. With National Anti-Racism in Football Week just around the corner it is more imperative than ever that the concerns of ethnic minorities are heeded and action is taken by clubs and the authorities to ensure that anyone who wishes can attend a football match free from fear.
The report, which was based on a survey asking questions about all aspects of the game, also looked at women's football, players salaries, hooliganism and a number of other issues. The report is to be circulated around key figures in the game in order to prompt a debate. Let's hope that once the talking stops real action will occur to tackle the many problems that beset the game.
