    FANS GROUPS OPPOSE GB OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM

    [align=center][​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG][/align]

    [align=center]International Fans organisations from around Great Britain oppose the formation of a joint Great Britain Football team at the Olympic Games.[/align]

    [align=center]It is our view that such a move toward a joint team could severely jeopardise the independent status of the four Home Associations. All four Associations' have a proud tradition of very long standing which fans from the four countries wish to retain and any move toward a joint team is seen a major threat to this status.[/align]

    [align=center]There is a view within FIFA, the world governing body, that England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales should compete jointly under the banner of Great Britain on a permanent basis. It is our view that a joint Great Britain football team at the Olympics would further enhance their case.[/align]

    [align=center]We will continue to oppose a Great Britain football team and would ask all like minded people to support [/align]

    To be honest I couldn't care less.
    IMO I think it is a complete waste of money .
    Not that my husband would agree with me.:D
