The Swindon Town Supporters Trust have again expressed their disappointment with the running of the club in a new statement.

The Trust have released a statement following a pair of meetings they had with the club in the last two weeks about the improvements they hoped to see after a disastrous year on and off the pitch.

The board have said that they continue to call for more experience in senior roles at the club, improved communication, owner investment not to be treated as additional debt, and called for any parties interested in buying or investing in the club to make themselves known.

In May, TrustSTFC wrote an open letter to the club in May, stating that they had lost faith in the ownership of the club following Town recording their lowest-ever league finish since the inception of the fourth tier, as well as the club receiving two EFL charges.

In that letter, The Trust stated that they wanted to see improvements in the investment in experienced personnel and money in the running of the club; a clear and credible funding plan for the stadium redevelopment; and a commitment to complete transparency moving forward.

In an update earlier this week, The Trust said that it had planned to have a review with the club at the end of September when they met with them in the summer following the open letter about how their desired improvements had gone.

Following those meetings, the TrustSTFC board said that they believed many of its conditions had not been carried out and had communicated its displeasure to the club.

The statement said: “From our previous open letter, there has been progress on many things around the Club but we are passionate in our belief that a lack of experienced football club leadership is detrimental to success both on and off the pitch.

“In recent meetings with the Chairman we have been told that opportunities to address this are being explored but we have shared our frustration and strong disappointment that this has taken too long and is fundamental to fixing many of the other issues around the Club.

“As part of our meetings with the Chairman, we discussed alternative ownership and investment opportunities. In light of league performances and the need for significant stadium redevelopment, increases in funding are required. We continue to have serious concerns about the funding, commercial and technical viability of redevelopment options for the stadium.

“The Chairman has insisted he would reluctantly engage with any viable bidder that provides proof of funds, so today we call on any interested parties to come forward, either to the Club or in confidence to the Trust. Crucially, we are not currently aware of any bidders who have made an offer for the Club and provided proof of funds for both purchase and ongoing operation.”

There has been talk of potential fan protests in recent days but The Trust said they would not support that at this stage, especially with many fans already showing their displeasure through falling attendances so far this year.
