Labour leader Corbyn pledges flexible tickets and grassroots funding

As part of his manifesto for the general election, the politician is looking to make football accessible to all - but has seen his plans questioned

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn would like to see football become “a game for the many, not the few” and has included flexible tickets and grassroots funding in his manifesto for the 2017 general election.

The proposal is intended to remove the problems caused by matches being moved or rescheduled, leaving certain supporters with tickets they are unable to use.

Labour would look to work with train operators, broadcasters and football clubs to ensure that fans are not left out of pocket.
