MARTIN Watson is urging United fans to attend a Supporters Trust open meeting next Thursday (May 23) at the Richmond Club in Edgar Street.

The meeting starts at 7.30pm and there will be presentations from Supporters Direct and representatives from the trusts at Newport, Worcester and Telford.

Former United player Gareth Davies will also be at the meeting to lend his support to the proposal.

“The steering committee has been overwhelmed with the levels of support for the Trust idea,” said United fan Watson.

“Hundreds of expressions of interest have already been received.

“Everyone with an interest in the club and community is welcome to come along.

“The meeting is opening the dialogue about a Supporters Trust.

“It will be up to the people in the room to decide whether it is the way ahead and, indeed, what the Trust is designed to do.”

He added: “As a steering committee we are only there to present the idea and do the groundwork.”
