"I believe it would really benefit football clubs to have the support of the FA on an important issue like this, they are the governing body and have some responsibility for governing the game and all that comes with it.
"If this issue is country-wide then this unified approach would help ensure that football clubs and ultimately the fans get the best outcome."
Peter Smith, aged 27, Hillsborough.

Kevan Smith, aged 51, Manor.
