Hope everything works out how they want it to. A few years ago I would have backed any scheme (including fan ownership) to get the club out of Fenty's stranglehold. But not now. I feel we are in great hands and looking forward to a great future!

It didn't go too well for Wrexham when many of their fans turned on the Trust.

I wish York well.

It was sad to see them fall so far. Nice place to visit and never had any issues with their fans. And there seems to be a growing contingent of ex Mariners in their squad

This post is irrelevant we have 2 guys running the club for the benefit of the fans and the community , our trust can help but we have proper people now at the helm and I couldn’t be fooking happier

If they were a reflection on yourself then we'd just keep making endless promises that we can't keep.

We are owned by supporters anyway aren’t we? Jason & Andrew seem like they had form on this before they bought shares.

And the Trust have immediately sold 51% of the shares to businessman Glen Henderson in a 'partnership'.......not quite the fan ownership the supporters were probably envisaging.
