It is the Trust's intention to get the area open and then continue to improve the facility during the season and beyond.

The Trust will shortly be asking supporters for feedback and ideas on a number of initiatives, all feedback welcome.

Following a meeting with the club board at the end of last season, the Trust in Yellow board put to members the proposal for the creation of a “Fan Zone”.

At the recent Trust in Yellow AGM, the overwhelming majority of members voted in favour of the proposal.

n the coming weeks the TIY board will work towards acquiring a facility to sit between the main stand and the club shop with a view to having the area in operation during the early period of the season. The fan zone will be a blank canvas and it will be down to supporters to make it their area.

During the course of the 2019/2020 season, the Trust will run a number of supporter related fundraisers and gauge feedback as to how supporters want their area to look, appear and feel.

The area will improve the experience for regular match goers, create a better environment to attract new supporters and assist the club in generating extra match day and non-match day income. Further information will follow in the coming weeks.

All feedback is welcome, please email fans@trustinyellow.com or speak to a member of the Trust board.
