London Rising Tide kick-off Fossil Fools Day at the FA headquarters

London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, demanding that the FA end their sponsorship deal with E-ON.

At closing time today London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football
outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, scoring own-goals and with the slogans 'Climate FU Cup' and 'E-ON: No new coal' emblazoned on their football shirts. On the backs of their shirts were the names of the proposed new coal-fired power stations.

Some police, and FA security attended the match, supporting from the front doors of the FA headquarters. The match went on for over an hour, only stopping for oranges and a team photo at half time.
