This is a very long read, the key findings are a very brief synopsis and " interesting" to say they least...As we well know, many lower league clubs are struggliing , how much they are apparently stuggling is shocking....

On a quick first read we appear to have been awarded a Silver ('showing good progress' but not yet ‘regulator ready’)
The scoring: Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards
Each of the 164 clubs assessed were given an overall score across all eight of the
areas covered by the Index.
In addition, to ensure consistency of performance, clubs were also assessed on
whether they met minimum standards in the four core areas that represent the primary
focus of the Index of:
● Finance;
● Governance;
● Fan engagement; and
● Transparency.
To achieve a Gold Award, clubs had to record a strong overall score AND meet the
minimum standard, equivalent to a Bronze rating, in all of the core categories.
Similarly, only clubs achieving this minimum standard in three of the four core areas
could qualify for Silver; and for Bronze, they needed to hit the minimum in two of the
core areas. |  |

Thanks Tony, for putting that summary together
One thing that'd go a long way to achieving Gold status would be the issuance of the Golden Share
At the EGM in mid-July, i raised the question with the Trust board about how this was proceeding. The brief answer was something like "we're a couple of weeks away"
Getting on for two months later... nothing. No news, no minutes from that meeting as per the Trust requirement to produce
Perhaps someone from the Trust could put something together about what the hell is going on and post on here (so not just for the Trust members who might or might not get an email) but for the fanbase as a whole |  |

Well whaddya know! Coincidences never cease
Minutes from the meeting landing in email inboxes at 3.04am, 54 days after the event
Extraordinarily Special, and accompanied by thanks to those Trust members who called the meeting, aka "the mob" incl. "the Toxic Five"
Their words
Will read those minutes later [Post edited 11 Sep 3:52]

Looks like there was only one applicant for the role of Trust Director. | | | |
