Who are Supporters Direct, and what is their role?
Supporters Direct is a government backed and funded scheme aimed at helping people take a more active role in the running of their football club. Supporters Direct has helped fans form Trusts by offering them advice on what form their Trust should take, how to get it off the ground, and how to ensure that as many people get involved as possible. They have worked with fans setting up over 40 trusts in the last year, and advise fans on what works and what doesn’t, and give examples of good ideas from other places. They also paid for all the legal costs of setting up The Magpies Trust and provided small start-up grants to cover things like advertising, printing, and room hire. You can visit their website for more information.
