Hundreds of sports governing bodies are set to come together to discuss the implications of Scottish independence for funding, facilities and representation. The future of Team GB, elite funding, Lottery funding and training facilities are among the questions to be addressed by the Sport and Recreation Alliance, the umbrella organisation for more than 320 sport governing bodies including The FA, the Rugby Football Union and UK Athletics.

The alliance is bringing the organisations together to discuss the implications of independence for their sports in light of concerns that the future of sport is being ignored amid the wrangling over issues such as European Union membership, currency and citizenship.
