THE PANELS — 12 noon til 6.30pm
Activism in the Boardroom Davide (FC DalPozzo) / Philip (Falke) / + more TBA
Who actually runs your club? Not the name on the website — the person making the decisions. This is about what happens when fans stop asking for a seat at the table and build their own table. Speakers from fan-owned clubs in Italy and Germany talking about how they did it and what they'd do differently.
Activism in the Community Speakers from SOS / Liverpool Homeless FC / + more TBA
Football clubs sit in the middle of communities but most of them act like they're somewhere else entirely. This is about the ones that don't. People running projects that use football to do something useful — not as a PR exercise but because it's the right thing to do and it actually works.
Activism in the Women's Game Speakers TBA
There's a version of supporting women's football that's all hashtags and pink kits. Then there's the version where you give the women's team the same budget, the same ground, and the same vote. This panel is about the second version. What does it look like when equality is in the rulebook, not just on the poster?
Activism for Inclusion Bootle Bucks / + more TBA
Who gets to feel welcome at a football ground? Not who's technically allowed in — who actually feels like they belong? This is about the clubs and projects making that real for people who've been told football isn't for them. Refugee football, disability inclusion, and what happens when a club decides that everyone means everyone.
THE MUSIC — 7pm til midnight
Mel Bowen & The Original Series
Shellsuit
- more TBA
Live music on the waterfront. The Dock Wall. The bit where you stop talking about changing football and start having a proper night out.
