United fans’ group wants to see more detail before league reconstruction vote

Representatives of ArabTRUST have met with Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson to discuss the ongoing league reconstruction.

Following constructive discussions, the trust advised the club that it was not in favour of rushing through the introduction of all of the proposed changes this summer.

“We believe that within the overall proposals to reconstruct the leagues there are some good principles, such as the redistribution of wealth and the simplification of the governing bodies,” a trust spokesman said.

“We see no reason why these should not be undertaken at the earliest opportunity.

“However, we think it is grossly unfair that clubs are being asked to vote on this matter, when little detail or any alternatives have been provided, and where it appears to be a take it or leave it scenario.”

The spokesman added that it was felt to be imperative that further detail is provided to fans on the league reconstruction proposals.

“How can we propose to buy season tickets for 2013/14 when we have no idea who we are going to see for the entire price we are paying?” he added.

“Given that clubs and supporters have not been offered any alternative structures to consider, or any vision on the longer-term shape of Scottish football, we call on the SFA to provide leadership by bringing a period of reflection and detailed consultation before any decision is made.

“As we have said before, supporters are the lifeblood of the game and whilst the authorities have mostly failed to listen to date, we are encouraged that United have listened to our views.”

The trust has also called on United fans to get right behind the team.

“The level of success is crucial to the playing budget that will be available to our new manager,” said the spokesman.
