    Stuck this in the pub, if it needs to be moved fire in.

    Given there is a few on here who want Fan ownership for Celtic it'll be interesting to see how this Club get on (obviously can't compare the 2 directly). It was being discussed about 20 mins ago on clyde 1.



    Fans can run a new club aiming to go from scratch to the Scottish Premiership in under two decades


    Government of the fans, by the fans, for the fans. That was the promise made by the footballer who proposes to form a club from scratch – funded by small investors across the world - with the aim of competing in the Scottish Premiership within seven years.

    Great idea!

    Would be difficult to know who to support when Celtic play The Aidan O’Shea Appreciation Team, though.

    Interesting idea.
    As a sidenote, my local team Wrexham is now fan owned after being skelped by its previous owners. Fell into Conference League obscurity & faced with expulsion from that league, the fans raised an astonishing £127,000 in one day to save it from dying.
    Subsequently, after ten years of hard work, they are now top & pushing for promotion back into the Football League. They are averaging 4,500 & the last game pulled in 8,500.
    Attendances are higher than most div2 & div1 teams & fan involvement is through the roof, they are run by an excellent team of non paid volunteers.
    I think it is the way to go for smaller clubs. Wether it would work for a bigger club, I don’t know.

    So the plan is from scratch to the premiership in 20yrs ?
    FFS. Sevco went from scratch to premiership in 5yrs.
    But appart from that, you just know this has fail written all over it. Gretna failed even though it had a millionaire pumping in bucketloads of dosh into it, what chance has a club got with a couple of hundred fans throwing in a few quid.
