ANDY BURNHAM delivered a ringing endorsement of Fair Game’s vision for the future last week at the launch of its manifesto at Plough Lane, the home of AFC Wimbledon.

Fair Game is a group of 27 clubs from England and Wales, backed by a team of over 40 experts, working on issues around governance, sustainability, and community within the game.
