I was at the trust meeting which I found informative and interested listening to how other clubs ventured into fan/ community ownership.
I notice every time the pros and cons of 'going it alone' is raised, the argument of the need for billionaire backers is always used as a scaremongering tactic to avoid having any change from the comfort of our usual mid to low division four existence.
Maybe some of our support base fear the big step up in class playing league 1 football, with too many big clubs with skilful players who punish the slightest mistakes? Large noisey followings? Or playing several local rivals in all ticket, capacity crowds?
Of course they don't, they want all the above and a lot more!
Does playing in and maintaining league 1 status really need a multi millionaire backer? No of course not, it just needs some boxes built and an increase on capacity to maximise on the ticket sales for the bigger games and make the football experience at Sixfields a lot more enjoyable.
I was asked at the meeting by someone who was dead against fan ownership, where would I be happy to see our club he asked , the answer was simple, I want to see a challenging established league 1 club that has enough infrastructure to be sustainable and maximise our earning potential at that level.
Billionaires not required, but when wealthy local benefactors see they are not required as cash cows, they'll be more than happy to get on board and help .
Well done to all those trust folk in getting this moving.
