Propose a change

Football Governance Act 2025

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

49 Duty not to change crest, home shirt colours or name without approval

(1) A regulated club must not make any material changes to— (a) any emblem or crest of a relevant team operated by the club, or (b) the predominant home shirt colours of such a team, unless the club has taken reasonable steps to establish that the changes are supported by a majority of the club’s fans in England and Wales. (2) A regulated club must not change the name of a relevant team operated by the club unless the change has been approved by the Football Association.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
