The public transport network provider is called GVB – more info is available via www.gvb.nl (incl English links) You can find a map of the public transport network on the previous page! Prices: 24hrs GVB Card: EUR 7.50 48hrs GVB Card: EUR 12.00 72hrs GVB Card: EUR 16.50 If you have a day card, please make sure that you check in and out with your ticket when you enter/leave the metro/tram/ bus! GVB - SINGLE Tickets – Disposable OV-Chipkaarts Single tickets are valid for one hour and are EUR 2.80. You can buy them inside the tram or bus and at designated booths or machines located at any major bus, tram, to metro station, as well as some other places such as newspaper stands close to bus stops. TAXI Taxis are comparably expensive to get around in Amsterdam. Official taxis in Amsterdam are easy to recognize, all of them have a “TAXI” symbol on the roof, have a meter and are licensed. You can stop them on the streets or get one at an official taxi rank. BUT: Because space in the city centre is limited, taxis cannot stop anywhere they like. To keep traffic flowing in the city at peak efficiency, stopping is not al-lowed at various places. This is also one of the reasons why there are so many fixed taxi ranks, e.g. around the Central Station. A good service in Amsterdam is provided by the Taxicentrale Amsterdam (TCA) – with online booking service: +31 20 777 777 7 ACCESSIBILITY Wherever possible, adjustments are made in buildings to facilitate wheelchair users. All conference venues of EFFC 2013 and De Toekomst on Friday night are therefore fully accessible for wheelchair users. A few taxi companies offer special wheelchair taxis to transport you comfortably around the city. For example, TCA (Taxicentrale Amsterdam) on +31 20 777 777 7. More info on accessibility of buildings in Amsterdam is available on the Accessible Amsterdam website www. toegankelijkamsterdam.nl. This website provides reviews on the accessibility and userfriendliness of all sorts of public buildings. GVB Day Passes - DAGKAARTEN in Amsterdam The GVB day or multiple day card entitles you to unlimited travel around Amsterdam - day and night - on bus, tram and metro, for the number of hours that best suits your plans. For instance, the day card is valid for 24 hours from first check in. 8 EUROPEAN FOOTBALL FANS’ CONGRESS AMSTERDAM, 19 - 21 JULY 2013 9 FRIDAY, 19 JULY 2013 – DE TOEKOMST SATURDAY, 20 JULY 2013 – Amsterdam ArenA STATION: STRANDVLIET STATION: BLIJMER ARENA (Line 54 to GEIN) If you have problems with walking, please call the EFFC Shuttle Van!

Each theme (exept for Themes 3 and 6) will address one specific issue under the overarching theme in the morning session. In the afternoon, discussions will focus on another issue under the same main theme. You are free to choose one theme session in the morning and a different theme and session in the afternoon. THEME 1: Football Fans, the Special Species – when football sup-porters become a play ball for safety and security measures Morning FOCUS: “Bubble Matches” and other Travel Restrictions Afternoon FOCUS: Naked Match?! Body Searches FSE Committee Member responsible: Linda Hadorn, FaCH, Switzerland In many countries, football fans are confronted with a big range of repressive measures, special laws and enforcements. At this year’s EFFC, we want to discuss this more thoroughly in two areas: travel restrictions and body searches. In the morning, we want to discuss the pros and cons of such travel arrangements, take up points such as the feasibility of such measures and exchange our experiences. In the afternoon, we will focus on body searches. There again, we want to give you the opportunity to exchange knowledge and talk about problems related to entry procedures, or in other words: body searches. As an outcome, we want to elaborate possible models for entrance and body search part and sum up the discussion on both areas with a position paper. THEME 2: Fans Against Poor Modern Football! Morning FOCUS: The Struggles for Clubs & Fans in Small Leagues Afternoon FOCUS: Fans and their FAs – Why Dialogue is Good for the Game FSE Committee Member responsible: Martin Endemann, BAFF, Germany While everybody is looking at the big football leagues in Germany or England, the specific problems for fans or clubs from smaller countries or leagues have often been neglected. But in many smaller leagues (e.g. in the Balkans, Scotland or in the Benelux area), a stadium visit has become so unattractive, that either bad finances, match-fixing and/or just bad stadium conditions and low attendances are almost natural consequences and make the situation worse. THEME 3: Supporter Ownership in Action – Our Game, Our Rules - organised in cooperation with Supporters Direct Morning Session ONLY! FSE Committee Member responsible: Riccardo Bertolin, MyRoma, Italy Twelve years ago, Swansea City FC were bottom of the professional pyramid in England, and on the verge of going out of existence. Now the Welsh club are established in the Premier League, have earned a reputation for playing the game the right way – and are part owned by their supporters. This session will tell the remarkable story of how the Swans Trust kept their club alive, and why supporters have been central to so many clubs being saved in England in recent years. We will also look at the growing number of groups across Europe who are working to ensure their clubs are restored to or remain in the hands of those who care about them the most – supporters. Whether through motions at AGMs, national fan campaigns coordinated by umbrella organisations, or action from individual groups, everyone involved in this session is working towards achieving greater levels of supporter influence at their clubs…for the good of us all. As a result, fans stop going to matches and/or follow the teams in the big football countries on TV. That again creates greater inequalities within Euro-pean football – with more fans or players being ripped off, kick-off times moving to ridiculous times or competitions structures changing in hysterical attempts to make the fixtures more attractive. For the first time, we will ad-dress these issues in a workshop. THEME 4: EUROs for Fans in Europe?! Morning FOCUS: National team fans – face-painted clowns or passionate football supporters? Afternoon FOCUS: EURO2020 for Europe – an event for fans? FSE Committee Member responsible: Paul Corkrey, FSE Fans’ Embassies, FSF Cymru, Wales There are various organised national team supporters across Europe, and for the first time, a workshop at the EFFC is addressing national team supporters on a wider scale with the aim to exchange experiences on various matters and talk about how national team fans can intensify cooperation for the international matches and tournaments to come. National team supporters representatives will present how they contribute to good hosting via means such as Fans’ Embassies, fan marches and beyond. Legacy effects evaluated at EURO2012 have shown that Fans’ Embassies and similar measures organised by fans for fans proved valuable to ensure responsible involvement of local football supporters and help those estab-lishing sustainable structures of self-organisation and institutional dialogue beyond the tournament. As UEFA decided to host EURO2020 in several countries, there is a huge challenge for fans and organisers with regards to issues such as sustainability, as well as the ecological and social added value. It is important to make the best of it now, especially for the fans. To date, representatives of UEFA and FSE have discussed the concerns that were expressed by various parts of the fans’ movement and other bodies. In the afternoon, we’ll illustrate the work that has been done and participants can give direct feedback to UEFA, to make sure that EURO2020 can be as fan-friendly as possible. A good chance to fight all these problems, has proved to be dialogue between supporters and the national football associations (FAs). In smaller countries, this dialogue is often far from perfect. The second part of the session will focus on sharing best practice examples of fans’ dialogue between fans and their FAs, and develop strategies to sell the added value of a functioning dialogue to both sides. 14 EUROPEAN FOOTBALL FANS’ CONGRESS AMSTERDAM, 19 - 21 JULY 2013 15 SUNDAY, 21 JULY - Amsterdam ArenA THEME 5: European Fan Campaigner Networking Meetings THEME 6: International Network Meeting for Supporter Liaison Officers Morning FOCUS: Kick-off Meeting of the FSE Anti-Discrimination Division FSE Committee Members responsible: Goran Grosman (Bijeli Andeli, Croatia) & Michal Riecansky (Tribuny Su Nasy, Slovakia) FSE Member responsible: Stuart Dykes, Supporters Direct, England In the morning, the Anti-Discrimination Division of FSE will have its first meeting. The aim is to bring together active and potential members of the division and to plan future steps on topics such as campaigning, coordina-tion, general vision of the anti-discrimination division and sharing experience in the anti-discrimination field. The meeting is open to all members who are interested and/or wish to take part in future activities of the division. Afternoon FOCUS: Twenty is Plenty – Strategies for joint actions of interna-tional campaigns for fair ticket pricing FSE Members responsible: Tobias Westerfellhaus + Marc Quambusch, “Kein Zwanni – Fußball muss bezahlbar bleiben”, Germany Afternoon FOCUS ONLY! The aim of the workshop is to kick start an exchange between SLOs at Euro-pean level. We will hear from SLOs in two different countries about how they are approaching the role, the problems they face, and progress they have made. They will also talk about their experiences working in European competition. In the subsequent discussion we hope to identify the strengths and weak-nesses of the SLO project so far and explore ideas for making the system work better. While the workshop is aimed primarily at SLOs, supporters are, of course, more than welcome to attend and air their views. STATION: Blijmer Arena (Line 54 to GEIN) at the STADIUM: Main Entrance – Gate E 9.30-10.30hrs 10.30 – approx. 14.30hrs nnual General Meeting (AGM) of the members of A Football Supporters Europe (FSE) AGENDA 1.

This threatens football as “the people’s game” as it can be witnessed in England, where a whole generation of fans have been forced to watch football in pubs - with consequences for the atmosphere inside the grounds. But fans in different countries have now started to campaign against this development. This workshop should discuss how the different national or local campaigns can work together and and start transnational actions that can force the clubs to rethink their policies in this area. Arrival of participants Afterwards: HANNEKES BOOM STATION: AMSTERDAM CENTRAAL Follow the signage! From Amsterdam Central Station walk left and straight for about 8 min towards the big building NEMO, turn left, get over a tiny bridge and you’ll find Hannekes Boom like a little island surrounded by water (further directions to be found on p.4) 19.00hrs - ?? EFFC 2013 - THE FINAL DESTINATION Farewell party with all volunteers and participants of EFFC 2013 16 EUROPEAN FOOTBALL FANS’ CONGRESS AMSTERDAM, 19 - 21 JULY 2013 17 THE 4th AGM OF FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS EUROPE (FSE) GENERAL INFO What is going to happen? The AGM is the highest body, the ‘Parliament’, of Football Supporters Europe (FSE). The AGM is held once a year and together with the EFFC workshops it is here that members decide with their vote about the aims, objectives and future actions of the network, approve changes to its statutes and elect the members of the Committee, the main board, for the following year. Conditions of Participation The 5th AGM of the Football Supporters Europe (FSE) network is open to all properly admitted members. Non-members registered as participants of the EFFC 2013 can attend the AGM as observers. The FSE Coordination, on-topic divisions & the FSE Committee The FSE Coordination is the executive body of the FSE handling the day-to-day business of the organisation including all legal transactions. The FSE Coordination is appointed by the FSE Committee. On-topic divisions are founded or closed by the FSE Committee with a two-thirds majority. On-topic divisions are semiautonomous networks or bodies providing particular services relevant for football fans and develop their work under the umbrella of the European fans’ network. Each on-topic division appoints a director who represents the on-topic division within the FSE-Committee. At the moment there are on-topic divisions for fans’ embassies & antidiscrimination. The FSE Committee is the main management board of the network, consisting of the FSE Coordination, the directors of the on-topic divisions and the elected members. Its members are responsible for the overall running of the European football fans’ network. The FSE Coordination as well as the directors of each on-topic division have one permanent seat each within the FSE Committee. The FSE Coordination and the directors of on-topic divisions are not allowed to participate in votes of the FSE Committee on all issues that concern either the nature of their employment or the existence of their on-topic division. According to the current statutes, two thirds of the total number of members within the FSE Committee at the time of elections plus one third of the total number of permanent seats within the FSE Committee have to be reserved to members democratically elected by the AGM. Committee members are elected with a sim-ple majority for one year. To avoid overrepresentation of one particular country within the Committee, there can’t be more than one third of the elected commit-tee members representing the same country....pfeeeew...did you get it? No? Don’t worry, it sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is! According to this procedure, the number of elected members for this year would be calculated as follows: (2 on-topic divisions (2 seats) + FSE Coordination (1 seat) +1/3 of all permanent seats within the FSE Committee at the moment (1 seat)) x 3 = 12 seats within the FSE Committee in total 2/3 = 8 committee members to be elected at this year’s EFFC, 2 candidates max from the same country.
