Swindon Town stop all communication with STFC Supporters Trust

SWINDON TOWN has cut all communications with the Swindon Town Supporters Trust after being told by Swindon Town CEO Steve Anderson that the club will be stopping all formal communication with them.

Amidst an ongoing court case surrounding the ownership of Swindon Town, FA Charges, and the club facing relegation from League One, the clubs have now decided to cease all communication with the Supporters Trust. 

In a statement released on the Supporters Trust website which you can read here, the Trust said: 

“TrustSTFC were today informed by Steve Anderson, CEO of Swindon Town FC, that the football club are to stop all formal communications with the Trust. 

“Following our positive support for Clem Morfuni at today’s hearing in respect of Lee Power’s application to put the club into administration or sell to “Able” (a company we still know nothing about or have not heard anything from) we have been informed by the current management of STFC that they will no longer have any communication with TrustSTFC.

“After weeks of public silence from the club, punctuated by multiple futile private communications between Mr Anderson and the Trust, we are now left with no official comment re the critical issues the club is facing, both in terms of its financial viability and its future prosperity. 

“It also leaves the community at a loss regarding more day-to-day issues that impact fans, such as the situation regarding season tickets for this season and next. 

“We have regularly encouraged the current management of STFC to respond to our open letter and provide financial transparency to the Trust and the wider supporter base but to date this has been ignored. 

“The Trust are obviously extremely disappointed but not surprised that all formal channels of communication with the current ownership of Swindon Town are now closed to us.  

“TrustSTFC has always been and remains owner-agnostic provided that the owners are working for the long-term best interests of STFC, its supporters and the local community.”

We have approached the club for comment and are currently awaiting a response.
