Meeting of East Midlands Trusts
· Chair Andy Roberts and board member Derek Krajewski attended the regional meeting of East Midlands Supporters Trusts at Grantham.
The meeting featured two guest speakers – Dan Crawford, of Fulham Supporters Trust and the Trusts First group, and Kevin Rye, who used to work alongside Brian Lomax at Supporters Direct and who now represents Think Fan Engament.
Both Dan and Kevin spoke knowledgeably and passionately about the need for Trusts to work more collaboratively as the new world of football governance begins to take shape later this year.
