I don't know the full legalities of this and whether it is possible?

But here goes:

I posted somewhere about having a membership scheme for fans of the Club that they sign up to and pay a sum up front for a season ticket card that they then produce on match days to get it at a reduced rate, basically works the same way as a season ticket but instead of the Club getting all the cash up front the pot is divided into some up front and then some from every home game instead of receiving all the money in one sitting so to speak.

I like the Trust model but I think most people have their own views, but a way to a means that perhaps would service all requirements including the Club is to expand on the Membership Scheme or offer up an alternative that is also viable to the Club, I am not quite sure what umbrealla it would fall under:

This is only an example

An Adult pays £10 a month into a Supporters Membership Scheme in exchange for a 10% Discount on a season ticket, 10% discount on any purchase in the Stanley Store, membership of the Supporters/Owners/Shareholders/Stakeholders Club this is set up by the fans but with the interest of the Club at the core e.g. to pay for new Bar Facilities for Fans pre match which in turns creates turnover for the Club while also creating somewhere for the fans.

A OAP or Unemployed pays £5 a month for the same as above

If we got 500 to join the Adult scheme & 200 to join the OAP or Unemployed Scheme it would generate £6000 per month or £72000 a year.

This extra revenue could be used to create various things around the Ground as it grew and as the Supporter base grew it would hopefully carry on generating extra income for the Club & Fans in terms of perhaps wish lists of better facilities and if both sides were willing take Supporters to a Boardroom Level by terms of representatives from the Supporters/Owners/Shareholders/Stakeholders Club.

This all may be pie in the sky and way off the mark in terms of what people want & think likewise with the Club but it may stimulate conversation if nothing else

Please feel free to pick holes in or add as you see fit
