1st August 2023 - Regional Alliance Launched

the Regional LGBTQ+ Football Supporters’ Group Alliance is a network for Yorkshire, Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire LGBTQ+ football supporters’ groups. The purpose of this regional alliance is to share best practice, offer peer to peer support, explore joint events & empower supporters' groups to reach their potential.

We acknowledge that Pride in Football is a network representing ALL UK LGBTQ+ Fan Groups. A regional alliance is important to complement the Pride in Football network whilst having that smaller geographical support, presence & ability to collaborate at a manageable scale.

LGBTQ+ football supporters' groups within the three regions stated are at different stages, are different sizes, have different models and working relationships with their respective clubs. It's important to have the option to collaborate & also a channel to share best practice whilst creating a regional community.

The groups of this alliance are,

• Rainbow Blades (Sheffield United)

• Marching Out Together (Leeds United)

• Rainbow Owls (Sheffield Wednesday)

• Proud Stags (Mansfield Town)

• Proud Millers (Rotherham United)

• Rainbow Spireites (Chesterfield FC)

• Proud Forest (Nottingham Forest)

This isn’t a closed shop & further LGBTQ+ supporters’ groups from the three regions stated would be welcomed.
