Iron Trust…

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if they have seeked investment in the club from its members or outside investors? Are clubs like Exeter owned through a supporters trust? As many point out they envy Exeter.

Its only to food banks and charity’s from what I can see.

Do they still send out e mails prior to each home game?

It will be good when they get a place on the SUFC board.

There was a big uptake from bruers this last year, don’t know whether they got anything out of it, would be nice to hear from them.

Swann stated there is no point anybody purchasing shares. would be good to have fan representation on the board like other clubs (on a side note i see the Raith Rovers one resigned following Goodwillie appointment)

Wasn’t that when he first joined and was investing his own money into the club?

I don’t think he’d turn down any sum of money from the Iron Trust now. Would be interesting how much they could raise from all the ‘missing’ ones?

I got my last one on 21/1/22.

A bit on Hackney being a naughty boy.
General stuff on the transfer window followed by even more general stuff on the campaign for safe standing! Not really something that affects SUFC.

More emphasis on National campaigns and very little really on our current predicament, that is obviously worsening by the week.

Slightly disappointing if truth be told, although there is an AGM later this month: –

The Iron Trust AGM is being arranged for 7pm on Wednesday 23 February. It will be held, (Covid allowing), at Brumby Hall Social Club. Members will receive the calling notice and associated papers during the first week of next month. We received three nominations for the three vacancies on the board which means that there is no need for an election, but that the nominations of David Beverley, Steve Hawes and Jake Stockdale will have to be ratified at the AGM.

I won’t be making the 300+ miles round trip. Anyone on here going!

What is the actual role of Iron Trust?

Minimal commentary on the clubs plight on and off the pitch. A couple of meetings with the club hierarchy before Xmas and it’s all gone quiet again.

For me The Trust’s heart is in the right place and they are no doubt loyal & dedicated supporters of the club, but as soon as Swann throws them a bone of engagement it all goes quiet again (publicly at least).

An enlightenment on their role and purpose would be much appreciated.

Cheers, UTI

One place off the play off positions with a game in hand, two new stands built recently, can’t think why Scunthorpe fans would be envious of Exeter.
