Done.

Realise mods may be a wee bit pre-occupied at the moment but get this stickied!

Any progress on the foreign payments front?

Would it not just change euro into pounds for a bank transfer?

It's 30€ for you foriegners Brexit means Brexit

Only corporate members mate, labourers plod on regardless

Heeeeeeey i resemble that remark

So impressed at the Trusts work......In awe.

There is only me doing any graft

How do I buy a membership for my son? It looks like membership is the card holder.

if your son is under 16 it is a £1 or adult £20 both options on paypal, if not got paypal, email membership@hufcsupporterstrust.org.uk for other payment options.

You didn't tell me you'd got paypal now didja. Piece of piss.

Yes he is 30 and in RAF (forces discount) but when I sorted my wife's membership this morning I had to use her credit card. I can't see how I can use mine to pay for his membership. Incidentally he is playing in forces cup final today at sincil bank, where me and missus are now. Hard to take when all you he staff in here are on about next season.

Just joined, can't resist a good bandwagon, think we are gonna need a bigger one.

send me names and pay £3 on paypal

Contact the email and i`ll send you payment options.

How many members now ?

Very close to 500. I get an email "ping" every time we get a new member, and just by my reckoning we have doubled our 240-odd we had a fortnight ago.

Absolutely fantastic, keep signing up folks

I'm in!

How much is it to sign my dog up?

My son joined today and the good lady has emailed for payment options. Momentum building.

Good stuff Geoff!

You don't even have a dog!

Lol yes I do

No you don't. FACT.

I have a Daschund and she is called Cabbage. fact.

You have a goldfish and it is called Rufus. FACT.

I'm in.

Going to sort the lad's within the next day or two and hopefully the missus too. Been meaning to join since the day it was set up, wrong though it is it was one of those things I meant to get around to doing and just didn't.

I also have a couple of fish, they are both minnows as the other fish all died after my lad was tapping the food container thing with the intention of putting a few flakes in....unfortunately he emptied nearly all of it in. The survivors are called Dannii Minnow and Kylie Minnow. Amongst the other fish we had was another minnow, he was called Barry Maminnow. I shit you not.

Fucks sake

Fish Food absolutely honks!!!

Maybe that's why fish smell so bad?

Joined today. Many thanks to those dedicating their time.

So people want us to go into administration please get real if we are relegated the National league require a bond to join that. It is in place to show that a club can finacially exist and can go through the whole season. If we are in administration they won't let the club into the league and we could be relegated far down the pyramid. To.my mind that isn't an option.

Wrong thread?

We won't end up in administration anytime soon, not going to happen.

If nobody comes forward this will be a slow, painful death with the beginning of the very end being administration. I can see us being at least a year from that point though going on the statement when the at least the short term future (ie. the next couple of years) is talked about.

It,s a shame we didn,t look ahead and hand out trust leaflets for the game tommorow as I bet only about 20% of the crowd come on the bunker and don,t get to see the full picture and all the info available on here.

We didn`t want to come across as scaremongering, Newspaper and TV appeals will come after the weekend.

Bath city gone fan owned

Bath City FC completes transition to community ownership (5/5/17)

Just under two years after fans launched the Big Bath City Bid to raise funds to buy the city’s football club, this week the Supporters Society at last became the club’s majority shareholder and a new board has been installed subject to formal League ratification.

Having raised over £350,000 in the autumn and following extensive legal process, the Society has bought £300,000 of new shares issued by the Club, lent a further £50,000 and opened a new line of credit for working capital to underwrite operations for the next three-five years. A new board has been formed, headed up as Chairman by Nick Blofeld, former CEO at Bath Rugby, with Paul Williams remaining from the previous board as Football Chairman. The Society’s six members of a nine-person board include the addition of new blood in the form of Sally Harris as Community Director, Martin Powell as Supporter Liaison Officer and Jon Bickley in the role of Sales & Marketing Director. Shane Morgan as Director of Operations continues as incumbent Society representative, while John Reynolds and Andrew Pierce continue from the previous board, providing continuity of knowledge and experience at the helm. One Society position is still to be filled as former appointee Nick Thompson has recently moved away from the area.

As well as clearing debts to a number of individuals, the financial restructure sees all remaining debt re-scheduled on five-years, interest-free terms, giving the club a stable platform to begin its turnaround plan. A key foundation of the plan is a redevelopment on the site of the main stand and half the car park, that will provide a new grandstand and property to realise sufficient funds to clear all remaining debts as well as providing ongoing income streams. The club is actively working on this project and will be consulting in due course on the redevelopment.

Following the success of the fund-raising in the autumn, the new structure has already been running in parallel with the previous board, notching up a number of developments including:

The appointment of full-time General Manager, Carole Banwell, to drive new revenues and oversee day-to-day running at the Club
Launch of an online shop for merchandise, event and ticket sales
The success of a new Family Day leading to a second 1000+ crowd in the season for the first time in five years
Launch of a new Community Working Group to engage with and embrace local community groups and charities
Launch of new Bath City FC Sponsors Club
Appointment of Volunteer and Partnerships Officer, Heather Thomas
Commenting on the completion of the deal, Chairman Nick Blofeld offered: “We’re delighted that after over two years of hard work, fund-raising and negotiation we’ve completed this refinancing and that the people of Bath and wider community now hold a majority stake in Bath City Football Club. With a firm financial footing and citywide engagement, we’re already seeing a burst of creative energy that is invigorating the club. The possibilities are huge for this football club at the heart of our community and we’re excited to get things moving.”
Paul Williams, Chairman of Football, added: “I’m really pleased to reach this stage of the process that gives us the stability to plan for success on the pitch, while new resources and finance enable us to build the business off the pitch and make it sustainable for the long run. One of the most tangible things fans can see is that we’ve approved an enhanced playing budget for next season that will enable Manager Gary Owers to plan and recruit for a serious tilt at promotion.”
Martin Powell, Chairman of the Supporters Society and the Club’s new Supporters Liaison Officer, concluded: “We are absolutely thrilled to see this dream become a reality. The Big Bath City Bid has finally delivered a community owned club that enables fans to elect directors and to take hands-on roles in the day-to-day and strategic running of the club. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
On 9th June the club will celebrate this momentous event with “Bidfest”, a party to celebrate the success of the bid and to toast the future of Bath City FC as a community-owned club.
