Swindon Town Football Club can now make public the minutes from the November Advisory Board meeting, which was hosted at The County Ground earlier this month.
Several key points were discussed, including:
- The historic external debt is now down from £7.5million to £1million under Clem’s ownership.
- Plans to buy The County Ground are moving at pace with exchange due by the end of January and discussions on funding the stadiums purchase by The Nigel Eady Trust Fund are progressing well.
- The integration of Swindon Town Women are also progressing well, with their FA Cup victory over Paulton Rovers last month providing a record attendance for a women’s game in the competition at the third qualifying round stage.
- Our Under-16s policy has been revised following good behaviour in recent games, with Under-14s now only needing to be accompanied by a responsible person at our home games.
- The football club has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, reflecting our respect for our military and those serving as well as looking to work more closely together going forwards. The new Armed Forces branch of the Official Supporters Group has also been set up.
- Our supporters groups are working together to see how the atmosphere inside The County Ground could be improved on a match day.
- Plans for a Sponsors/Partners STFC Business Club are being discussed.

The sole purpose of our Advisory Board is to meet monthly to review and assess the performance and strategic direction of the football club, and to ensure there is open, transparent and regular engagement on key matters impacting all aspects.
It also builds on the memorandum of understanding that was recently signed between Swindon Town and TrustSTFC, and it continues the commitment from the club to maintain open and honest engagement with its fanbase.
The STFC Advisory Board meets every month and there is an opportunity for fans to raise questions via TrustSTFC and the Supporters Club.
The meetings present an ideal opportunity for supporters to share feedback, ideas and suggestions to the club’s management team, so we encourage everyone to get in touch with either of the supporter groups.
If you have questions relating to off-the-field and business matters, please contact info@truststfc.com, and please contact admin@stfc-osc.com for fan engagement matters.
