TOWN Supporters Association is affiliated to the national (and international) Football Supporters Federation (whose website is www.fsf.org.uk).

So we are pleased to publicise the offer of free membership to the FSF, which is available to all fans from across the UK and beyond

This offer is being made to create a larger, more vocal campaigning force for fans of all clubs..

If you’re worried about the direction the game is heading, whether it’s the way that fans are policed week-in, week-out, ticket prices being prohibitively expensive or club ownership issues, then join the existing 140,000-plus individual and affiliate members and stand up for fan interests.

There has never been a more important time to ensure your voice is heard, and it’s never been easier to get involved. All you need to do to become a member is to provide the FSF with your name and email address and postal address – it’s that simple.

All newly joining members are entitled to a free issue of The Football Supporter magazine delivered straight to your door, absolutely free of charge, as well as receiving a £5 discount from TOFFS, the UK’s largest retailer of retro football shirts.

These are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of deals and offers you’ll receive as an FSF member – but it’s not just about a load of freebies.

First and foremost, this offer is for fans who want to make sure that someone is looking out for them.

The FSF is instrumental in fighting for fans’ interests.

The HTSA already represents its supporters through affiliation to the FSF but all fans, whether HTSA members or not, are encouraged to join as individuals. And if you’re not yet an HTSA member, then please consider joining us!

This can be done via the www.htsa.co.uk website or by calling in to the St Andrew’s cabin on match days.

May we also remind Town supporters in the Calderdale area that there will be the first meeting proper next Wednesday (September 16) to be held at the Shay in the Southdale Lounge (with bar), starting at 7.30pm. We are finalising arrangements to have Town players as our guests.

Finally, for all those planning on going to the Millwall match on Saturday week, the HTSA coach will leave the stadium at 8.30am and is priced at £20 (or £17 concessions) for members. Please ring 07926 165863 to book your place or call at the cabin.
