As a director and board member of the Trust this is an exciting and huge step forward for the future of our club.. A great deal of hard work by all parties has gone on behind the scenes in order to make this happen.

While you're here, can you give a simple outline of how this might work ?

I'm sure there will be plenty of time for cynicism, but on the surface this has to be viewed as good news.
Absolutely. The property thing was just a subtle reference to a post on the set up thread.

Mind games. Great bit of PR from the club, but a load of BS. Of course, I can't prove he's wrong.

Great news. So it would seem that Lee Power is not in fact an evil asset stripper intent on running the club into the ground.

Nah, it just means that the trust are now in on the asset-stripping as well.

From what I gather this has been the Trust’s preferred option from the outset.
I wonder what has changed Power’s mind.

Its early days yet and full details will be released as things evolve, but ultimately the trust would put in half the money and the club the other 50% to own the ground. There are potential plans to then invest in the county ground to improve it The Trust will work with the club on this and have input into the plans, plus have a position on the board. Ultimately it means fans will own a share of the county ground with the club in a 50/50 deal.

Does the position on the Board include input into other matters other than the stadium?

That's brilliant news heading into the new season. Well done on both sides. Club and fans' representatives finally pulling in the same direction. Hope this encourages more commercial sponsorship too.
