We've had a few bounce backs from obvious typos in email addressess which we've corrected where possible (eg. gnail.com, gmail.con etc) but also had some from work emails where people have changed jobs.

To all members,

Further to our mail to you on November 13 2020, the ballot for ratification of the Constitution document shared is now open and will close on January 11 2021.

Following feedback and giving consideration to the proposed changes in FAI governance structures, all references to FAI Council in the original draft have been changed to FAI General Assembly. The revised document can be viewed on the ballot form.

Should a majority of members ratify our Constitution, it will be adopted once the new FAI General Assembly is ratified. An FAI EGM on that change is to be scheduled in the near future.

It is of the utmost importance that as many members as possible vote so that we can continue to use the mandate you have given us to try and build a brighter future for our game, particularly after all the upheaval of the last two years. The process will take less than a minute of your time.

Your ballot can be accessed by clicking on the below link. In order to validate your vote, you will need to provide the email address that you registered as a member with.



Thank you for your continued support.

To all members,

With over 200 verified ballots received and only 2 no votes cast, we can confirm that the draft constitution was approved by an overwhelming majority of voting members.

Therefore, as previously detailed, our new constitution will come into effect once the new FAI General Assembly structure is ratified. We will obviously keep members up to date in relation to any developments on this.

Please also find an update from Football Supporters Europe regarding Euro 20 ticketing below. Note that supporters who have already bought tickets have until 2pm tomorrow Jan 26th to request a refund from UEFA if they wish to do so.

The below links will take you to the FSE statement on their website and social media.

Website – https://www.fanseurope.org/en/news/news-3/2314-uefa-provides-update-on-euro-2020-ticketing.html

Twitter – https://twitter.com/FansEurope/status/1351094486185730049

Facebook –  https://www.facebook.com/317946518327/posts/10159061003808328/?d=n


Finally for now, ourselves and our Irish Football Supporters Partnership colleagues remain in ongoing discussions with the FAI regarding the various scenarios around hosting the scheduled games in Dublin and will advise you when there are any concrete developments. As you can imagine, the situation remains very fluid due to the impact of Covid-19.


Thank you for your continued support.

Irish Supporters Network, along with YBIG Mandate and CRISC, are canvassing opinion on supporters returning to live football in Ireland.

Please take a few minutes of your time to complete a short survey on the potential protocols that will be involved depending on what restrictions are in place. All shares on social media are much appreciated ⚽️

To all members,

Ahead of the upcoming World Cup campaign, Ireland manager Stephen Kenny is eager to meet and talk to the team's supporters.

Ideally, Stephen would have liked to have dome this on a face to face basis but, as we can't do this due to the current restrictions, the FAI have offered to host a virtual event on Microsoft Teams on March 11th at 7pm for our members and members from other supporters groups.

The virtual event will include a presentation from Stephen on recent matches and what he is looking to achieve before an open floor Q&A.

If you'd like to attend then please complete the below form to register and we will contact you with details prior to the event.


The closing date for registrations is midnight on Monday March 8th and tickets will be issued on a first come first served basis.

This event is exclusive to members of supporters groups. If you have not signed up to the YBIG Mandate already then you can do so by clicking here.

Thank you for your continued support.

The results of the Return to Stadia surney were published today and are below for anyone interested. 

Thanks to all who responded.

Fans Back Protocols to Allow for Return to Stadia

Irish football supporters are anxious to return to grounds across the country as soon as possible and the overwhelming majority will adhere to Covid-19 public health guidance in order to do so, a survey has found. Supporters listed financial support of their club, football being their main pastime, and football as a key social outlet as the top motivations behind their desire to return.




On the eve of the new League of Ireland season, a total of 1,826 football supporters responded to a survey led by the Irish Supporters Network (ISN), and supported by their colleagues in the Irish Football Supporters Partnership (IFSP), the Confederation of Republic of Ireland Supporters Clubs (CRISC) and YBIG Independent Supporters Mandate. The IFSP has had two representatives on FAI Council since July 2019 and works to ensure that all fans have a voice within the association’s structures.


Of the supporters that managed to attend a League of Ireland fixture in the second half of 2020, there was strong praise for the efforts of clubs as well as their staff and volunteers in making fixtures safe, well organised and also welcoming those that could attend. 95% of respondents identified with a League of Ireland club from across the Premier and First Divisions. 


Re-opening football

Asked when they would like to return to watching live football, 71.5% said they would seek to return “as soon as possible”, ahead of “when there are no restrictions on gate numbers” (9.8%) and “when Covid is no longer an issue at all” (9.7%).


Asked if they were willing to adhere to public health guidance and stadium protocols in order to facilitate a limited return when it is safe to do so, a huge majority (98.7%) of respondents answered ‘Yes’. In addition, 89.3% of respondents pledged to publicly support an awareness campaign aimed at promoting public health guidance amongst the wider football community if it helped to re-open/keep football open to supporters in the coming months.


Irish football’s financial dependency on supporters was highlighted once again when respondents were asked why they wanted to return to stadia as soon as possible. The most popular ‘Priority 1’ was financial support for clubs and teams. The social and community element of football also shone through too, with the second and third most popular choices being: Football is my main pastime and It’s a social outlet for me.


On measures that would encourage supporters to return to grounds once it’s safe to do so, masks were seen as an important consideration:

  • A requirement to wear a mask around the ground (71.3%)

  • Phased exit (59.4%)

  • Being able to attend with the people I normally go with (57.9%)

  • Assigned seating (56.1%)


Just over a quarter of respondents had the opportunity to attend a League of Ireland fixture after grounds opened up again with limited capacity last summer. The vast majority that had this opportunity felt the guidance and instructions provided were ‘Very clear’ and, when asked to share additional feedback, comments strongly commended clubs for their work in ensuring games were safe and followed protocols. Some of these comments are included below.


In a further demonstration of supporters’ loyalty, 36.3% of respondents are still willing to purchase season tickets despite the uncertainty around timelines for supporters returning. Slightly less (35%) said they would prefer individual tickets for specific matches, with entry included in club membership (11.5%) third.


“Everyone involved in League of Ireland football is anxious to have supporters back in grounds once it’s safe for them to return, and the survey findings include lots of useful information that can help inform preparations in the coming months. The vast majority of supporters want to return as soon as they possibly can and are hugely supportive of any public health guidance and the stadia protocols that will allow that to happen,” Niamh O’Mahony, Secretary of the Irish Supporters Network (ISN), said. 


“The reasons why are also important to highlight - fans think about their clubs’ finances, football being their main pastime and football being a social outlet. That sense of community and belonging is key. The League of Ireland is underpinned by the dedication of supporters and volunteers and, as one respondent said, fans and passion drive this league more than anything else. That same passion has been largely missing from grounds for the last 12 months.


“Feedback from the games in the second half of 2020 was really positive in terms of the clubs implementing public health measures and ensuring fixtures were run in a safe and organised manner. ISN, CRISC and YBIG Mandate have been meeting with the FAI regularly on this issue to ensure the voice of supporters is heard and taken into account in the ongoing Return to Stadia work. The data also speaks for itself - not a single Covid-19 outbreak was linked to League of Ireland games or training in 2020, and clubs, volunteers and supporters can all take credit for that.”
