Welcome to Hereford United Supporters’ Trust
Why YOU need to “OWN YOUR FOOTBALL CLUB”
With the ‘Fans Led Review’ of Football being announced in Parliament, let’s take a few minutes to remind ourselves of its importance.
Football fans, have for years, flocked to watch their chosen team, often in the thousands and in their eyes it is ‘their club’ and it “belongs” to them.
However, in the eyes of the Law, it is a remarkably different matter. Football Clubs are categorised as “Companies” and under Company Law, the Company (Club) is, in fact, owned by its Shareholders. That is to say, whosoever owns more than 50% of the shares owns the Club.
In these circumstances, Owners can, for example:
- Opt to move the ground.
- Change the Club’s colours.
- Move the team to a new league.
Fans, who do not have a say, can do nothing about any of these decisions!
As we have all seen played out in the media, select Premier Club Owners wanted to start a European Super League. Fans strongly protested! Had there not been a strong lobby from Government and Football Governing Bodies, the fans’ protest, would, again, have meant nothing!
