Seadogs Star In Fan Index

Friday, 23 August 2024 09:59

By Andrew Snaith

The Fair Game Index 2024 is a prestigious index that measures clubs across Financial Stability, Good Governance, Fan Engagement, and Ethical Standards.

Scarborough Athletic FC, one of the few 100% fan-owned football clubs in the UK, say they've once again proven the strength of their unique ownership model by achieving a top-tier ranking in this index.

A club statement said:

'We’re thrilled to announce that in the National League North, we’ve secured 2nd place, just behind Chester, and an impressive 33rd overall across the top seven divisions of English football and the top four in Scotland. What's remarkable is that we have outperformed every Premier League club, securing a place in the top 10 for Fan and Community Engagement.'

Chairman Trevor Bull expressed his pride, stating:

“As a club owned by the fans, for the fans, we’re thrilled to see our values of integrity and community impact recognised on such a significant platform. This recognition strengthens our belief in the sustainable model we’ve built, where every supporter’s voice contributes to the fabric of our club.”

The club added:

'This achievement underscores the success and sustainability of our fan-owned model. For instance, our fans have been instrumental in decisions such as club policies and community initiatives, ensuring that every club decision reflects the interests and passion of our supporters.'

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
