European awaydays fan survey published

Albion supporters and others give their experiences of overseas trips

In December 2023, PC Darren Balkham, Dedicated Football Officer (DFO) of Sussex Police, approached me as chairman of the Supporters’ Club to ask if he could consult with a small number of members that had travelled to our away matches in Europe. This was to seek feedback about their experiences abroad in a prescribed format, identifying safety, security and service. 

The submission from those supporters would then form part of a nationwide report being compiled by the United Kingdom’s Football Policing Unit.

The final report was published this month (February 2024), featuring feedback from fans of nine clubs that have competed in Europe in the past few years.
