Football supporters are being given the opportunity to help shape the future of the professional game - and give themselves a chance to win one of five pairs of tickets for the 2008 Play-Off Finals at Wembley Stadium in the process - thanks to the launch of a major new supporter consultation by The Football League.

The Football League Supporters Survey 2008 lets fans have their say on a range of important football issues, from the use of goal-line technology and quotas for home-grown players to refereeing standards and kick-off times.

Supporters will also be asked their views on the club they support. This will include issues surrounding the matchday experience such as ticket prices, food & drink and stewarding, as well as wider issues such as whether fans feel valued by their club and the importance they place on Community and Youth Development programmes.

Each club will receive a summary of the views expressed by their supporters, with none of the information supplied being personally attributable to participants.

In launching The Football League Supporters' Survey 2008 Lord Mawhinney, Chairman of The Football League, said: "The views of football supporters are incredibly important to The League and its clubs. This survey is an opportunity for fans to help guide us forward.

"The last survey we conducted on this scale was completed by more than 43,000 supporters. It provided an important barometer of supporter opinion and made a positive contribution to The League's decision making process.

"In particular, supporters' views provided a catalyst for our new Agents' regulations prohibiting the previously common practice that saw agents represent a player and a club in a transfer deal. They were also very influential in the decision to introduce a smoke-free policy at all League matches from the beginning of this season.

"I firmly encourage all supporters to take up this opportunity to make a difference, once again."

The results of The Football League Supporters' Survey will be published in the New Year.
