ABOUT US

THE FEDERATION NEEDS YOU!

The Federation of Dundee United Supporters' Clubs represents nearly 1300 Arabs in dealings with Dundee United, the Scottish Federation of Supporters' Clubs, the Scottish Executive, the Police and other regulatory bodies. Its important that every Arab is given the opportunity to join a Federation Club and have their views properly and constructively expressed. Its also essential that the wide spectrum of opinion and debate amongst Arabs is fully reflected in our membership. The greater our numbers, the more representative and powerful our voice. Historically, supporters' clubs concentrated on fans travelling to away games on buses. Most "independent" travelling fans and those who preferred just to go to home games didn't join clubs however, because of recent and forthcoming changes in Scottish Football, this should no longer be the case. We now have a new club to represent these Arabs. Just look at what we're currently involved in; you're bound to have a view on some, if not all, of these and by joining a member club you can influence how these develop:

Season tickets/ Student tickets - to put forward relevant proposals to the club.

Merchandising - to consider and influence merchandising policies of the club.

Safe Standing campaign - should standing areas be reintroduced?

Policing/stewarding at games - both home and away.

Supporters' rights - influencing government and football authorities' policy.

In addition to this, the Federation has been able to negotiate subsidised travel and ticket prices and our new sponsorship deal with Eddie Thompson will ensure that many other benefits will accrue. Also there are plenty of unique opportunities to attend functions and open meetings with players, coaches and directors.
