Individual and Fan Group Membership

Following the incorporation of SD Scotland as a locally incorporated Community Benefit Society, SD Scotland now encourages individual and fan group membership to reflect our wider role in representing fans within the game. This aspect of work was formally called the Scottish Supporters Network.

Through this membership we offer fans a platform to discuss important issues within the game and offer opportunities to influence real change within the game. Individual and group membership is currently free via the subscription form below.

By joining, you will helping ensure the Scottish Supporters network is a strong, organised and unified voice with the common aim of improving the game for supporters. You’ll be invited to participate in surveys, polls and competitions and will be helping to make the network as representative as possible. Fans can be assured their views are represented through Supporters Direct Scotland’s work in association with the football authorities.

We believe that having a strong vibrant fans movement allows us to act as a focal point for any organisation to hear the views of Scottish football supporters, be it the media, the Scottish Government or national and international football authorities.

• Ability to join working groups and contribute to shaping organisational policy
