SFU SUPPORTER DIRECTOR COLIN DOBELL'S FIRST BOARD MEETING.
Today 20th January 2010 our supporter director, Colin Dobell, had his first board meeting with the owners of Mansfield Town Football Club. This is an important day in the history of both the club and the trust and we hope that through association with the club we will be able to support them in the boardroom as well as financially.
SFU SIGN MTFC SHARE DEAL.
An historic ceremony occurred at Field Mill on Saturday when the deal which sees fans invest money into Mansfield Town FC in return for a supporter director was signed. Stags Fans United (SFU) (the Mansfield Town Supporters Trust) born out of a coming together of four supporters groups - TEAM Mansfield (TM), the Stags Supporters Association (SSA), the Ollerton Stags Supporters Club OSSC) and Stags Fans For Change (SFFC) - in protest at previous controversial owner Keith Haslam, has bought a further 5.5 per cent stake in the club with an investment of £55,000.
A MESSAGE FROM SFU CHAIRMAN WILL LORD.
Can I, on behalf of Stags Fans United, pass on our heartfelt thanks to all of those people who have supported us since our launch on the 4th June 2008. In those short months we have raised more than £55,000 which has gone into our club today to support the new owners.
The SSA donation and grouped donations from members of the OSSC and SFFC added to the donations from hundreds of other Stags fans have made this possible and we would like to thank every single person who has handed over money to the trust for their support.
We are now in the position where we can invest further monies in the club and so we are back in fundraising mode! We will be holding another Sportsmans' dinner (hopefully as successfully as the last , see SFU Events ) as well as holding other fund raising events.
We are looking to gain new members of the trust and have organised the facility to pay in monthly instalments to aid possible donors and would encourage who wishes to join or donate money to click on our Join and Donate Button on this website. Up The Stags.
