Survation for End Foul Pay releases a poll of football supporters. 1,000 adults aged 18+ who either attend football matches or watch them on television were asked about their views of football clubs and the living wage.

The ‘living wage’ – calculated to be the amount an individual needs to earn to cover the basic costs of living –  is currently set at £7.85 across the UK and £9.15 in London. We asked football supporters if they agree or disagree that all English, Scottish, premier and league football clubs should pay this living wage. The results were clear: 84% of football supporters agree that clubs should pay the living wage.

Given this support, it is perhaps unsurprising that 89% of football supporters told us they would feel more positive about football clubs if they paid their staff at least a living wage.

It seems then that football fans are interested in more than just how well teams play. A large majority (92%)  told us ‘football clubs should aim to set an example to their local community’.

Tables for this poll are available here.
