We are pleased to announce that annual memberships for the York City Supporters Trust are now available for renewal below.

Over the past year, the Supporters Trust has achieved several key milestones, including:

  • Worked diligently with Julie-Anne Uggla, Matt Uggla & the other club shareholders to strengthen & grow York City FC.
  • Golden Share Establishment: Introduced additional protections through the establishment of a “Golden Share.”
  • Supporter Representation: Actively represented supporters on issues surrounding the Hartlepool away match.
  • Increased Attendance: Promoted the #FillTheLNER initiative, leading to increased attendance at the last three games of the season.
  • Fundraising Efforts: Fundraised to send 216 new supporters to the final three home games of the season and now focusing on Fund That Minibus.
  • Monthly Trust Socials: Launched monthly Trust socials featuring appearances by first team players.
  • Contribution to Fair Game Index: Made significant contributions to the Football Club’s impressive Fair Game Index results.

In light of these achievements and after a thorough review of our operational costs, we have decided to restore the annual membership fee to its original price of £10 per year, up from £1. Life Membership has remained as ever at £100.

The decision to lower the membership fee to £1 in March 2018 was made to increase fan representation ahead of a pivotal vote regarding the Trust’s shares in York City Football Club. This vote empowered fans to retain ownership of the 25% of A shares, ultimately allowing us to guide the club’s majority ownership into the hands of Julie-Anne & Matt Uggla.

The return to £10 membership fees reflects The Supporters Trusts commitment to fiscal responsibility while ensuring that you receive value for your investment. During the 2022/23 period, our analysis revealed that, out of the £1 membership fee, only 67p remained after processing fees, resulting in a loss when covering essential costs such as hosting our AGM, insurance, and legal fees.

During the summer we have been working diligently to improve the website and Membership system, our work has secured reduced processing fees and work that is continuing will further improve the membership system. We will perform a full membership migration in the coming months.

It’s important to note that even with this increase, the membership fee has not been adjusted for inflation since 2018. If the original £10 fee had been inflation-adjusted, it would currently be approximately £18. Therefore, at £10 per year, your membership remains a fantastic value, supporting our mission to ensure that supporters’ voices are heard in the running of OUR football club.

Your support is vital to our mission, and by renewing your membership, you are ensuring that your views are represented in the future of the club.

Thank you for being an essential part of the York City Supporters Trust!
