Send a letter to your MP now
As of 9am on Friday morning, there have been over 6,300 letters sent to MPs by Newcastle fans, supporters asked to send one to your MP even if you don’t live in the North East, to get the message out there. All the better if the likes of Boris Johnson and his ministers are also receiving them.

We hope MPs will hear the Trusts call and work together on top of some of the excellent work individual MPs have done. So far there has been incredible to pressure the Premier League for transparency work or a positive response to the Trust from
It is crucial that the Premier League are accountable to supporters and the best method we have as citizens is through our elected representatives.
