About The Trust
Raith Supporters Trust was set up in 2001 to make sure that the voice of the Raith Rovers support is heard.
We are a democratic organisation made up of ordinary fans of Raith Rovers FC. We work with the football club board and other fan groups to help make sure that Raith Rovers FC has a strong and stable future as a club at the heart of the community.
The Trust is the legal vehicle for the Raith Forum’s shareholding in New Raith Rovers Ltd, which represents approximately 5% of the total shares in the companies which make up Raith Rovers. As a result the fans are now represented on the board of the football club with a 'Supporters Director' giving Raith fans a real say in the direction and running of the club.
I have the author’s book “The Ball is Round” (available at all good online bookstores through the Trust’s shopping links – http://tinyurl.com/2vogo4) which is a 900-page epic. Apparently it’s a cracking read but as I have the Hardback it’s not the easiest book to read on the train so I’m only about 50 pages in.
I probably should have waited for the paperback!
