Once established, the Trust will take the form of an Industrial and Provident Society, regulated by the Registrar of Friendly Societies. As such it will operate in a totally democratic and transparent manner, and will be open to participation by anyone interested in the long-term success of the club.
Presentations on the evening of 18th November will be made by representatives of Supporters Direct, one of whom will the Supporters Direct Chairman Brian Lomax. In addition, the Chairman of an existing major football club Supporters Trust based in the south of England will be addressing the meeting. Other speakers will be announced as they are confirmed.
As many supporters of Grimsby Town FC as possible are urged to attend, and fully participate in what could be a landmark evening for club and supporters alike.
