2018

The 2018 Summit was held at Fir Park, home of Motherwell FC, and kicked off with Chair Morag McHaffie and new Chief Executive Alan Russell discussing what’s happened with the organisation in the last twelve months.

The theme of the Summit was supporter ownership, and the morning focussed on our hosts The Well Society, who own the controlling stake in Motherwell FC, and two supporters groups well on their way to taking control of their clubs – The Foundation of Hearts and St Mirren Independent Supporters Association. The three groups share information and tips amongst themselves, helping each other along the way.

The afternoon gave attendees the choice of attending workshops on a number of topics:

• Nicola Hudson of Supporters Direct hosted “Getting To Grips With The Rules”
• Dan Crawford from Fulham Supporter’s Trust hosted “Structured Dialogue”
• Elaine Miller from The Killie Trust hosted “Fan Representatives”
• Maggie Coats gave an introduction to the “Women at the Game” project
• Alan Russell led workshops on SLOs and Disability Access Officers
