The Supporters Direct Fans' Weekend, including the Annual Conference and SD Cup, will take place in Chester, on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th July 2011. The Conference will be held at The Queen Hotel on the Friday, whilst the SD Cup will round off a Fans' Day held on the Saturday at the Exacta Stadium, home of Chester F.C.

Following on from 2010's event, we are hoping that this year's edition will be our most successful yet, and are sure that it will have something for everyone. William Gaillard, David Conn, David Goldblatt, Mark Bradley, as well as a wealth of advice, resources and debate, and much, much more.Tickets for both days cost £42 for members of a Supporters Trust and £47 for non-members; or you can pick and choose which events you sign up for.

Attractions for the Fans' day include stands for various organisations, a marquee that will host the speakers for the day, a BBQ (supplied by Cock O'Barton) and the prestigious Supporters Direct Cup match, contested this year by Chester F.C and F.C United. Half-time entertainment will be provided by another final: that of the Trust Movement 5-a-side tournament, for which we are now recruiting teams. Please email Ben for more information. Tickets cost £10 per head, which gets each player a meal, a ticket to the SD Cup, and a place in the tournament. 

We are delighted to confirm that our charity partner for this year's conference will be the England Homeless Football Network. This is a unique social enterprise, aiming to end homelessness around the world. £1 from every ticket sold for the conference, comedy night and Supporters Direct Cup will be donated to this great cause.
