Sheepy on a Trust - Ipswich Town News

Town chairman David Sheepshanks has told TWTD that he would work with a Supporters Trust if Blues fans were to form one.

Since the news of the period of temporary administration broke the topic has been a subject of wide discussion amongst supporters with TWTD receiving a number of emails on the subject.

TWTD questioned the chairman on the subject as part of an extensive interview which will appear in next week's edition of the fanzine. Sheepshanks told us that a Trust would not be ignored by the club: "I'm very happy if people want to look at a Supporters Trust and the club would work with it.

"We've just got to work out how this would be done given the existing share structure."

TWTD and other parties have been in discussion with Supporters Direct over the past few days and a meeting to discuss the aims of a Town Supporters Trust will be announced within the next week.
