NORWICH CITY SUPPORTERS TRUST IS TEN YEARS OLD THIS YEAR
Joining Norwich City Supporters Trust is a way to buy your own share in the ownership of Norwich City Football Club at a tenth of the price of an individual share and makes owning a share of the club a realistic goal for far more fans.
As football becomes a bigger and bigger business, few fans are able to retain a share in the ownership of their clubs. The result has been that the fans’ voice on matters affecting their clubs’ futures grows weaker.
The region, its community and a co-operative approach is central to Norwich City's unique character. Looking after the club’s values and spirit, and keeping them safe for future generations is the responsibility of City fans.
Currently Norwich City Supporters Trust has over 600 shareholders (members).
By joining the Trust you become a shareholder in Norwich City Supporters Trust (a non-profit making, democratic "mutual") which is a part-owner of the club.
Together we can make the fans voice heard on key issues affecting the Club, and help retain the Club's unique position in the community.
It costs just £10 to join the Trust and £5 if you are under 16.
