Reasons to Join
Still can't make your mind up? Then take a look at our Reasons to Join. Unsure as to what a Supporters Trust is? Then take a look at our new Trust FAQ page.
Annual memberships run from September, but new members are welcome at any time. Current memberships will be due for renewal at the end of September. However, you can renew from now onwards, and all memberships (new or renewals) booked now will be valid until the end of September 2006, so get your friends and family signed up now! A membership form can be downloaded by clicking here or by joining online.
1. To give your opinion a voice. The Trust has regular contact with the football club and has
formed an excellent working relationship. If you let the Trust know then we will endeavour to let the
club know.
2. Share ownership. The Trust already has one share and as money is raised by a strong
membership more will be bought. The more members, the more shares, the bigger the say. Each
and every share will be owned by all the Trust members and as the Trust builds its stake so it will
build its standing.
3. To help promote Burnley Football Club within the wider community. The Trust doesn’t
just organise events for Burnley fans. Events such as the beer festival, the literacy event and the
anti-racism 5-a-side etc... all aim to bring in people who aren’t necessarily Burnley fans. As well as
providing other revenue streams that don’t compete for money from the same fans – you – we may
just encourage a few more people to get interested in Burnley Football Club.
4. To join with like-minded Trusts to provide supporters with a voice at regional and
national level.
5. We are only just beginning. Remember that the Trust is still only a year old and no
organisation could be expected to reach its full potential in such a short time. If we can retain all
the current members and continue to add new members we will achieve more and continue to build
on our successes. |
