At a meeting on 29 January 2024, the Supporters Co-operative agreed to form a Steering Group to explore options for rebuilding the football club. The Steering Group met on 5 February 2024 and unanimously agreed that any new club MUST have the fans at the heart of its decision-making process. This means elected fan representatives taking a leading role in the clubโ€™s governance to ensure transparency and accountability.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง? The Steering Group supports the formation of a Community Interest Company (CIC) that benefits not only the football club but the town as a whole. Our view is that a CIC is preferable to a club led by a private business, which would not necessarily act for the community. A CIC is the ideal vehicle for us, as proud Nuneatonians, to make a positive impact on our local community. The Supporters Co-operative is supporting a group of sponsors and sporting bodies within the community to build a club and team for the future.

๐–๐ก๐จ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐›? The board of the CIC will consist of elected fan representatives, sponsors and other local institutions. It will not be run by the Supporters Co-operative, and will NOT be run to raise money for owners and shareholders.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง? Forming a CIC will end the boom-and-bust cycle that has dogged the club throughout its recent history and enable us to leave a lasting legacy for future generations of Boro fans.

๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž? A CIC is the best way to ensure that revenue raised by the football club will be reinvested solely for the benefit of the football club and the local community โ€“ something that we, the Steering Group, believe in passionately.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง? Discussions are already well underway to form a new club. The deadline for our application to join the National League System in time for next season is 1 March 2024.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ ๐ฎ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐›๐ž ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ง? We aim to apply for step 5 but no new club can guarantee where it will be placed in the National League System.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐› ๐›๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐? We want to involve fans from the outset and intend to run a poll, with the help of the Football Supportersโ€™ Association so you can choose the name of YOUR club. Details will follow as soon as the poll has been set up.

๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ โ€“ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จโ€™๐ฌ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐š๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ญ? We have talked with local businesses and prospective sponsors about funding. As long as the fan base is behind us, we believe the cost of getting our club back up and running in the National League System will not be beyond our reach.

๐Ž๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ๐ฌ: All of these discussions are gathering pace with a view to finalising firm commitments in the coming days. The Steering Group is meeting again on 12 February 2024 and will share more information with fans after that.

If I have read things properly.

H&H did not want to split the fan base so pulled out.
If they have now re-penetrated then surly this goes against what they said.

Due to timing of closure and fact Liberty Way seems closed for good I would liked to have seen a "year off". I understand the rush, but perhaps a year off would have also helped enthusiasm when it did return

H&H pulled out because they needed the backing of Elliott, Cook et al in order to finance anything, and theyโ€™ve put their weight behind the CIC model.

So much nonsense on Facebook the last few days, but I think Harris has pretty much confirmed that.

Not sure how theyโ€™re now in a position to โ€˜resurrectโ€™ anything based off a few mouthy sods begging them to come back on Boro Chat.

H&H seemingly had a bigger role in the club towards the end than had been evident at the time.
They were involved in discussions with the manager about setting revised playing budgets.

As for "mouthy sods", maybe that is his opinion and surely he is entitled to it, yeah?

I hope they identified having a club run/owned by one person has failed time and time again.

Perhaps the more influential ones realise if they are to financially support a club they want their money spent wisely and not for someoneโ€™s vanity.

A criticism of the sponsors is they were culpable in the failure of Boro Leisure. What is not clear is how much they knew. (I may be wrong) but they all seem behind this new venture

IF true, how can you trust these chancers, I give you;

1. We will walk away, we will not split the fan base - going back on that already then.

2. We looked at numerous clubs but we keep coming back to this one - of course you have it's FREE & you don't really have your own funds do you.

3. We are not in it to make a profit - then changed this to our investors will want a return.

Not the best start with transparency & trust is it.

Supporters really need to ask themselves what is really is H&H plan to bring football back to Nuneatonโ€ฆ..
Simple they donโ€™t have one and extremely doubtful that they will if they ever made a come back for the third time
Why would the council give a private for profit enterprise civic land ?
They wonโ€™t , in turn their only choice would be private land and a lengthy planning application โ€ฆ who pays ?

Secondly they revealed their Hinckley ground share talks of which SE is a main sponsor, why would Hinckley alienate one of their main benefactors?
Thus weakening any negotiations straight away with Hinckley, who pays for their bravado and the totally unsavvy approach, yes itโ€™s you โ€ฆwith a football club at all costs

All I can say if. H&H resurrect their plans I will be done with the club , withdraw my support and sponsorship
What we have is a real step change from the boom and bust management, a chance to shape our club ,secure our long term future and establish something for the entire town a lasting legacy

I think the SE sponsorship is a complex issue. He also sponsors Bedworth (and I believe Barwell).

With respect to Hinckley Road. Boro Leisure discounted this (and Rugby) due to cost. Have they dropped their demands?

Shame H&H can't join forces with the new initiative. Not wanting to be part seems to indicate "it's my way, or no way".
(I hope) the new initiative have a board with equal rights and (difficult I know) that this is respected and not dictated by those with most money*

There is a lot of talk about the council. Times have changed, and my best hope would for the council to pay for a facility available to all BUT get someone private to run it for them. This could open the way for a mens football team to rent it.

I was very "not bothered" about a new club (in any guise), but I am slightly more enthusiastic now.

* I still claim the biggest "investors" are those who pay at the turnstile. 200 paying (say) ยฃ5 is ยฃ21,000pa.

He also said they had the backing to buy Liberty Way but then admitted they were never given an asking price so did not in fact have the money to buy it.

They had no groundshare agreement, they had no backers, they had nothing concrete, and they tried to use our badge to start a brand new club, in a different town, in a different county.

No way (from my knowledge) does the coop want "its my way or no way".

If H&H have 90% of shares and flood the board with directors then the presence of the coop would be irrelevent. It was something I championed in the past, but now an opportunity has arisen for something different.

That part was in reference to this "group of sponsors" and it being a shame they couldn't see a way to back this new venture.

Again, Jebbs, I have asked Stephen Harris a few times on Borochat if they can get behind the CIC plan. I believe someone involved directly in that plan has issued an official invitation to them. It seems their egos may be too big to allow them to do that.

And even if not, FL is a pipe dream so irrelevant.

If it ever does become a reality I dare say there would be options to change.

When H&H spoke about FL (about 10 mins in) I was considering leaving as (to me) it was fantasy and showed lack of understanding.

I do not think it is ego on either side, but philosophy.

H&H want to own a football club. Any football club.
They want to get a financial reward for doing so.


The co-op, sponsors and other institutions (I think that was how they were listed), want to revive The Boro and The Boro only.
They want a fan-focused community club that cannot be used by anyone in the pursuit of profit and pension plans.

There isn't a compromise that I can see.

A fair few posters on boro chat particularly the younger ones are prepared to support H&H. They want a club to support next season at a proper ground and they want to see some ambition . That's what they want and H&H might be able to offer that . How they do it there not too fussed . There's been rumours about a former sponsor led alternative with possable support from the co-op but until that becomes something concrete and not just rumour what else have they got to go with .

Two things there. First, it seems that without the sponsors providing finance, it seems that H&H can offer step 7 at best on a ground with minimal facilities. The "young" fans on Borochat seem to have not worked that one out.

Second, the Co-op has actually issued a statement giving the outline of the offering they support. That's not a rumour, it's a plan of action. Remember that their initiative is less than a week old, so obviously the detail has not been finalised.

Can i ask where you think H&H were going to get their money from (given local sponsors did not want to be involved). Local sponsors pull out, quickly followed by H&H quitting

They wanted to get it from local sponsors, the same place Supporters group will need to get their money from, H&H have pulled out because they weren't going to get the backing from local sponsors, will Supporters group, remains to be seen

Seeing as the supporters group are joing with a group of local sponsors, then it all seems to be pointing to the answer being "yes".

It is important to remember this is not a co-op run club they have announced today, it is them working with local businesses and institutions.

So far we know they have Boro's longest standing sponsor on board, who the others are we have no idea.

I donโ€™t think much has been announced at all yet.

There was an aspirational statement from coop

Then the chancers blew their toys out of the pram, load of bitchy comments on the official club outlets and bizarre name checking for random people who had helped them.

So many of the names that are coming up seem to be people who were involved in the club during Jimmy's tenure .
Maybe Jimmy was the problem , hopefully they have learned from past mistakes . Certainly not the fresh start i was hoping for but if it's the only option on the table and if i want a club to support going to have to see where it goes .

If I am reading all the statements correctly, the Co-op are supporting to a group of sponsors who are already working to put a package together. H&H claimed they had the finance before the sponsors had actually agreed to put cash in.

I could be wrong, but if I'm correct they are totally different scenarios.

3) Whoโ€™s responsibility was it to pay bills and run company โ€ฆ JG
4) why did AT buy the club then immediately run away?
5) what did SE say in his unedited statement?
6) what did the sponsors know about finances (see point 5)

50% of the table last Wednesday had association with JG (one very close. Should they be questioned?

Sponsors generally help the club financially in return for advertisements. Why should they have access to unpaid bills (unless toldโ€ฆ. Were they or were they told too late)

Do you remember Kelly/shooter, IN/LT, Smurf, Hawkins, DA Capitol or JGโ€ฆ. What could go wrong.

I will happily put some more limited cash in if this turns into a reality.
But I need the know this is nothing to do with that CIC that the Co-op have 10% in, and that clown JG having 55% of shares is in or I'm out for good, no support, no cash.

Just to be clear re: the proposed CIC?

Dan has said that the existing CIC will be handed over to the Supporters Co-op.

This appears to be a Private Limited Company, limited by shares...is that correct?

With this proposal for a (new?) CIC, will that be a Private Limited Company (limited by shares?), or will it be a Private Limited Company (limited by guarantee?)

There is mention of a Board, is this a Board of Directors, which would suggest that the (new?) CIC could be limited by guarantee?

If it is intended to be a new CIC, what will happen to the existing CIC?

Edit:

A CIC is the FA's Option 4 in their guidance on new Club Structure.

If the Co-op are averse to shareholders, their only real alternative is to be limited by guarantee, so that will fall upon the Directors.

The statement from the Co-Op mentions that it won't be used to make a profit so would expect the CIC to be Limited by Guarantee.

Other things to note is the FA do not allow a CIC to play in the Football League.

The assets of a CIC are only allowed to be moved across to another CIC or Charity Organisation.

There's lots of info online about this and it will be interesting to see how the CIC is formed to benefit the supporters community.

Yes, now condemned to a footballing eternity in the non-league abyss!

Can't wait!

...& the new club being run by the same group of people who run up massive debts with the old club!

That's all gone quiet hasn't it?

Questions

Who were the directors of the old club?
How much influence/knowledge did sponsors have. Usually sponsors just get something in return for the money they put in.
Who authorised payments?
Who set the playing budget?
Why did DA Capital come in, then quickly closed the door behind them?
Why did SE stand down and what did he say originally in his statement?

We wont know the answers to most of these, but if we did then an informed decision could be made.

CIC's are non-profit making limited companies.

They can either be limited by shares, whereby the shareholders are held to account, by the proportion of their shareholding.

...or they can be limited by guarantee, whereby the directors are held to account.

Directors can be paid regardless if the CIC is Limited by Guarantee or Limited by Shares. Any decision to not pay them needs to be included in writing when forming the CIC.

For me, it is not about whether the Directors are paid or not, it is the fact that they will take the corporate responsibility for any financial problems incurred if the CIC fails.

If the same people are involved who were responsible for the demise of Boro Leisure, IMO that would be a concern to me, I am not one for finger-pointing at LW, for me what has happened there is a collective responsibility.

I would be far happier if the CIC was limited by shares, because the shareholders would appoint the Directors & would have the power to remove people who were not performing & appoint new Directors.

In that regard, there is already a CIC in place that Dan has said will be handed over to the Co-op in its entirety & more importantly that CIC must have already passed the necessary tests & scrutiny in its formation.

Just my thoughts!

Thanks for explaining the differences again VoR. I agree that supporters or a supporters led group having more control over who runs the club makes more sense. I don't know if supporters would want the financial burden if things don't go as well as they would have expected. Is there a way to get around this?

I would urge anyone to look and speak to Bury AFC before making decisions about forming a new club.

Registered Societies, regulated by the FCA are very popular & comply with the FA's guidance on new Club Structure.

This is as an alternative to a CIC.

VoR - you do know that CIC you are talking about has JG involved? And you want that to be involved in the new club? Really?

Also, if the new club starts with one type of CIC it can be changed later if needed.

There is a CIC Regulator, whose requirements have to be satisfied & who can block applications.

In any event, when talking about Institutions, I would want to see the Bank Manager installed on the new Board from the outset.

Dan said this of that CIC though Gregg.
That tells me it was completely the Co-op's should they have wanted it... No Dan.. No JG.
It looks (to me) like this group of sponsors are doing their own CIC though and doing away with the one that Dan offered to co-op.

As Iโ€™ve informed the coop. The CIC in its full entirety will be signed over the them. Shares, Directorship etc.

It's something Bury considered which was the reason for setting themselves up the way they did.

I would rather see it was done right and their reasons explained to supporters. I've tried to understand what a CIC does but can't understand all the jargon out there on the internet.

It is not a concern for myself that the CIC wouldn't be able to play in the Football League but perhaps it might be for investors or supporters.

I am still unsure what the term "investors" mean when spoken about football clubs.

Given where any new club will start then getting back to SL-P this level is going to take time; a lot of time. Nor forgetting the difficulty in finding somewhere in Nuneaton.

NBFC have never been close to getting into the FL.

As for CIC.
In simplist forms it's a organisation run by its members where there are strict rules about profit/loss. In fact profit is referred to as surplus
Thats in its most simplistic form

I am not convinced thats True

I am not sure what criteria for applying was. Perhaps Boro turned down the chance, but no guarantee they would be elected and below certainly does not speak of Manfield being invited

1931

North
Rochdale FL 40 re-elected to Division Three (North)
Chester CL 27 Second vote 28 elected to D3N
Nelson FL 27 " " 20 not re-elected
Manchester Central LC 4
Merthyr Town SL 0

South
Norwich City FL 38 re-elected to Division Three (South)
Mansfield Town ML 25 elected to Division Three (South)
Newport County FL 19 not-re-elected
Aldershot Town SL 14
Merthyr Town SL 2

Merthyr Town showed their eagerness to return to the Football League by applying to join
both the Northern and the Southern sections of the Third Division!
