What is a Supporters TRUST?
A supporter’s trust is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to take a proactive role in the life of the football club. The key aim is to secure representation on the Management
Committee and strengthening the links between the club and the community.

“Why always be criticising, when we can be participating. We believe we can bring huge benefits to the club so give us a chance”.

What is iSTAT?

The Independent Supporters Trust of Athlone Town (iSTAT) was set up in April 2008 win the aim of carrying on from the work done by previous Supporters Clubs and to help
secure the long term future of Athlone Town Football Club.

We hope to achieve this by working closely with both the Supporters and the Executive Committee of this great Club to help both groups work in harmony to help bring Athlone Town FC back where they belong in top flight football.

Along with making financial contributions to Athlone Town FC when possible, we hope to help with the logistics of the day to day running of the Club.

Along with the outlined activities, we will also seek representation on the Committee of Athlone Town FC to help bridge the game between Club and Supporter and assist with the flow of information.

The main aims of the Supporters Trust are as follows:

To strengthen the bonds between the Club and the local community which it serves and also to represent the interests of the community in the running of the Club.
To encourage the Club to take proper account of the interests of its supporters and of the community it serves in its decisions.
To raise money and donate in such a way to promote the aims and objectives of the Trust and to the benefit of the local community and the supporters of the Club.
To promote the full, accountable democratic and constructive involvement of supporters in the running and direction of the Club including the principle of supporter
representation on the board of the Club.
To develop links with supporters of other football clubs to further enjoyment for all fans.
To promote the game of football as a recreational and sporting activity and focus for community.

Guest_1433 : be honest
Guest_1433 : you seem to think you kno a lt so why dont you tell theom yourself? those men give up a lot of time for the club, and they dont always make the right decisions but at the same time they're doing their best with the resources they have. a lot of people were elected to various comittees over the years and left or did nothing and what good is that. you obviously just like stirrin things but have no evidence of anything goin on, you're just lookin for a reaction and i dont think you'll get one to
guest : then ye shud tell some of the committee !!!!
Guest_1433 : ye im sure guest
guest : hahaha are u sure bout that !!!
Guest_1287 : im sure the club are well away of their boundaries when it comes to paying players so people should leave them be ans let them get on with it.
Guest_1287 : patron scheme is completely seperate from the club, its a diffent committee nd ther clubs treasurer has absolutelt nothing to do with it. im sure all the accounts will be presented at the end of the scheme to show who was paid etc
guest : also is they money being taken from the patrons schemce which was clearly stated no money would be used for funding the club only for payin old debts !!!
guest : well matters if payments are not done correct and right with the rules of the FAI and the club ends up being kicked out !!
Guest_266 : match was postponed 20's at home tomorrow nite
Guest_57 : howd the 17s do?
Guest_1287 : im sure the accounts will be available at the agm as they are every year so everyones "queries" will be answered then. dont understand why it matters to people though how the players/manageme nt etc are getting paid.
guest : only reason some of players on this is to make room for not players being payed higher wages, and dont forget you have management wages too !!!!!! so think query is correct
Guest_4800 : just read on forum query re wages for players i know players on pay per game if u dont make panel no money i think a lot of players on this agreement
Ger : we cud meet in the Palace Bar while some of the committee are making decisions for the club !!!!
