'This is something everyone can be proud of': Bilston FC's move to supporter ownership
A trailblazing Black Country football club says their unanimous vote to move to supporter ownership is the best move for the club and the community.
Following a unanimous vote held on August 19, Bilston FC will adopt a 'supporter-owned' Community Benefit Society (CBS) model to run as a 'one member - one vote' group.
Loyal fan, Paul Barnsley, who is standing to be a director in the supporter votes next week, has said that the new shift is "an important step forward for the club and the community".
The new model will mean that fans have more control over the direction of the club, and will be able to contribute and participate in its future.
Mr Barnsley said: "We are all really quite passionate about this. I personally think that becoming a CBS is really important for the future of this club.
