Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A troubled season of sleaze and controversy failed to stop more spectators watching top-flight football as attendance levels broke the 11 million barrier for the first time in 14 years.
The total Premiership attendance was 11,213,371 (average 24,271), an increase of more than five per cent on last season's 10,644,551 (average 23,040), and 15 per cent better than the 1992-93 season, which saw the launch of the Premiership.
Rick Parry, the Premiership chief executive, described the 1994-95 season as "fundamentally successful but with important reminders that there can be no room for complacency.
"On a number of fronts, effective action has been needed and has indeed been taken. No-one involved in the game should believe that they are bigger than the game itself.
"The game's integrity is paramount and all necessary steps should be taken to ensure that the game is guided by the highest possible standards.
"I want us to spend more time on the development of young players and improved income distribution. I am confident if we can do that we can ensure a healthy future."
