Was thinking about this. What if any new owner continues the deal with the council and purchases the CG 50-50 with the Trust. Then, a couple of years down the line and the culmination of a plan, the club ceases to exist. No club, no Trust, one CG owner with no pesky football club getting in the way.
Surely the trust will still exist even if the club doesn’t? As we’ve seen, the club and the ground are separate entities.

What would be the point of a Supporters Trust if there is no club to support?

If it had a 50% stake in the ground, then at least in part to ensure that was disposed of correctly. Or to restart a phoenix club that could play there. LL is correct, the club and ground are separate. And if the legal entity that is Swindon Town Football Club Ltd went shitside, there would still be people who wanted to support a club representing the town of Swindon that played at the County Ground.

Technically, none, however, the trust can still exist sans club. More importantly the ‘trust’ will still have a 50% stake in the freehold.

On the upside, he's apparently not a sex offender.

Involved with Bath Rugby, don't think he's ever shown any interest in football.

Even if he were, I'm sure he'd still easily pass as fit and proper. It ain't a high bar.

To be fair he’d need to have a 1st degree murder conviction to have a worst background than some of the individuals lurking in the shadows at the club.
