- Ultimately, to promote the full, accountable democratic and constructive involvement of supporters in the running and direction of the Club, including the principle of supporter representation on the board of the Club
Finances
- The Trust is financed by its members for its members.
- The first pound of your initial membership fee buys you a share in the trust. All other funds contribute to the strength of running the trust.

- Additional Trust revenue will be brought in through sponsorship and income generation via events and fundraising.
