iainmac Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I see the NUFC Trust have launched their own version of FoH today to try and buy a stake in their club or, if the very worst happens, to buy the club. I know Garry Halliday has been involved in advising them. https://1892pledge.co.uk/ I wish them good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maroon Sailor Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 FOUNDATION OF HEARTS. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE OF FAN OWNERSHIP IN SCOTLAND! This fans organisation has raised a total of £11,264,000 from Hearts supporters by the end of January 2021. They have around 8,000 members pledging an average figure of £18.75 a month. The total raised from fans during 2020 was £1,458,263! With this money they rescued Hearts F.C. from Administration in 2014 and have continued to fund the Club. One of their members, Ann Budge, is currently the Chair of Hearts and holds a majority shareholding in the Club. The Foundation have an agreement in place to purchase all her shares and hope to complete the transfer by the end of this season. The Club will then be majority owned by its Supporters. Their vision is to ensure the future of Hearts as a well- run club which operates with integrity and transparency and which encourages entertaining football and plays its part in the Community.

OTT Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Good on them. Be nice to see Mike Ashley kicked out and what Newcastle could do. Only looks like about £5k pledged so far though. Fingers crossed for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
