Foxes Trust Reform - the final step

[Donwebbio]

What is the current membership number and how does that compare wuth our main rivals and other clubs of our size? 

 

Also, is the reform of the Supporters Club next?!

Think it’s 500 and something and is very low to compared to clubs our size. Could be wrong but I think Leeds are in the thousands

Can I ask- how will you attend the meetings if you’re banned? Online? 

They could do it online. They could also offer to meet at another (neutral) venue, which would be churlish of the club to refuse. The overall aim for any meeting is for progress and sharing of information, not for it to occur at a specific location, so if the club wants to show it is truly wanting to engage then not all meetings need to be at the stadium. As it's a 'community club', it wouldn't hurt to get out into it.

657 springs to mind from last night.

 

It was down, especially over the last few months (one wonders why?!), so it will be interesting to see if it picks back up now that change is occurring.

Thanks. That seems a really low number which needs seriously bumping up if the Trust are able to put real pressure on the club.

Yeah that's right. I believe some of the board do the same if other commitments make physical attendance tough.

I think we’ll probably see an increase now most of the old guard have gone. New era, new optimism 🤞🏼

Digby resigning because he doesn't like the results proves all the critics about the old set up of the Trust right in one action. Nice work Alan!

What a fantastic effort from the reform group. Respectfully, competently and shrewdly worked together to engage a swathe of the fanbase and do what they think is right. Huge respect for all of them, I will remain in touch with their announcements and tell any other city fan who dares to complain to me about the club to get off their a4se and join.

They have inspired me to launch a similar grassroots initiative to take over the social committee at my employer. For too long these company lifers have controlled our social budget. No more pottery classes!!!

Will the Reform Group be put to bed so that everyone unites under the Foxes Trust with the new board?

583 I believe was the number with 170 new members last year but offset by a much higher number of non renewals meaning the total membership dropped in 2025. Two bumps around the survey and the reform campaign. Yes it is low compared to a number of other trusts. However not all trusts are alike for instance some are more active with social events etc that drives engagement. The message of hope out of last night is new energy and new people either new ideas. I believe that the low number of members does allow the club to see the trust as inconsequential.

We should make the membership fee for 5 or 10 years, free for under 18s, with a life time membership older people and disabled people.

 

As long as we have sufficient funds for the running of the club.

 

If money is needed for campaigns or community activities then I'm sure many fans would contribute at the time.

Thanks everyone. It’s going to be a busy few months I’m sure.

 

If you aren’t already, please do consider signing up.

 

Also, if you’d like to help with any of the working groups (Comms & Engagement, Women’s football or Community) please let me or another board member know.

This link isn’t working for me - I’d be interested in signing up now if anyone can share? Cheers

All the social media stuff appears to be being retired according to that Fosse Way article. 

"We’ll be retiring our Foxes Trust Reform social media and message board accounts now. It’s full steam ahead with 100% focus and attention on the Trust."

 

So guess it's now just getting folks together in the trust for working groups, feedback and membership drives to get stuff done. Would be good to see the membership get back to 2024/25 levels. I was a shame to see it drop, but being chased for renewal was a bit naff.

This article just raises even more questions, has Ricardo ever been for a walk at Foxton Locks???
