Support the Supporters’ Trust

For all of the Trust’s Annual Members, the membership period runs through to 30 June each year. Please continue to support Your Trust and a future for professional football in York by renewing your membership for 2005/06 – we’ve kept the annual membership fee at just £10. If you have already renewed your membership or you are a Life Member, please encourage others to join.

Within the first few weeks after renewal letters were sent out, over 350 members have renewed their annual membership and fourteen upgraded to Life Membership. YCST now has almost 500 Life Members. In addition to the membership fees, the Trust has so far also received over £1,300 of voluntary donations from its members. Several supporters also generously make a monthly donation via standing order. A big ‘thank you’ to all of those supporters who have contributed.

The membership form for 2005/06 can be downloaded from the Trust’s website and via the following link:

If you have yet to re-join YCST for 2005/06, or you would like to join YCST for the first time, please complete and return a completed membership form.

Please continue to support the work of the Trust, the owner and guardian of York City Football Club.
