The trust was mainly formed to counter what the supporters perceived as the mishandling of the club by controversial chairman Alan Mackin. We hold him responsible for our last 5 disastrous seasons of finishing bottom of the league and a possible asset strip of a majority of the value of our ground, Firs Park.
However we are hopeful that a deal to transfer shares to new director and investor Spencer Fearn will happen soon and a return to simply being a `normal` football club again is our sincerest wish.
shiretrust runs the club shop, handles catering at Firs Park on matchdays, bought a new mower for the pitch, bought an Ultrasound Machine to quicken healing in injured players muscles, contributed to pitch repairs and the transfer fee of a new player at the start of the season. shiretrust raises funds throughout the year but always donates to a local charity around the turn of the year - this time we are donating £100 to CHAS (Children`s Hospice association Scotland).
