SILENT SUPPORT WEEKEND
On Silent Support Weekend, actions speak louder than words.
On the weekend of the 5th & 6th November 2022, the FA will be piloting a Silent Support Weekend. This will be the first of two Silent Support Weekends, with the second to take place later in the season.
Too often, there are too many voices from the touchline, too many opinions, and too much unnecessary distraction.
They’re encouraging spectators and coaches to show their support during the match through applause only. This will reduce pressure and confusion and give players a better opportunity to find their own voice and develop their game.
So, all you have to do is not talk, you can applaud good play from both teams, and then tell us your thoughts about the experience so we can feed into a national campaign to make improvements for the future. A digital link to a survey will be shared after the weekend for you to fill in to collect this information.
Join us and play your part on Silent Support Weekend on 5th and 6th November 2022.
