Welcome to the Clyde Supporters' Trust mini site!
We've worked in partnership with the official website of Clyde FC to allow you easier access to learn about the work of the Trust.
Remember that the Trust is completely independent from the football club and so is this part of the website. We hope that these pages will keep you informed about the latest news and events and encourage you to play a part in the life of the Trust.
Membership of the Trust is now in excess of 300. If you want to join then it couldn't be simpler; just download an application form. The Trust relies on the input of its members, so don't hesitate to get in touch with the Board as often as you can.
All ideas will be considered, every bit of feedback will be appreciated and any offer of help will be snapped up!

Statement: Back The Bully Wee Campaign
Saturday, 20th June 2009
Contributions are approaching £40k in the Trust led fundraising drive “Back the Bully Wee Fund.”
Monies donated via the many organised events, such as the sponsored walk, race night, supporters match, CD sales and the comedy shows have already been forwarded from the Trust to the Club’s Account as soon as a payment plan was agreed with North Lanarkshire Council.
When the Trust sought direct contributions from the fan base, an undertaken was given at that time: “All donations that are made to the Trust, if identified by name, as is the case with cheques or on-line payments or cash handed over not as part of a ‘bucket collection’, will be ring fenced and returned to the donor if not required.”
The Trust would now like to forward the donations which have been made so far to the Back the Bully Wee Fund to the Club as the football club continues to meet its obligations during the close season.
However, prior to any transfer of funds we are asking all named donators, who would prefer that their contribution was refunded, to email their request info@clydetrust.org by 4pm Friday 26th June. After that time all outstanding monies within the Back the Bully Wee Fund will be transferred to the Club.
This action is not an indication that Clyde’s financial battle is over; The immediate future of our club is now safe but it continues to need funds via direct donations or through the various fundraising initiatives to have any chance of being competitive next year. Without a major cash injection the forthcoming season will greatly test our resolve as Clyde fans and as a Trust board we are not insensitive to what is a perfectly understandable attitude amongst the support. Notwithstanding that though we as a Trust board are advocating that the monies are transferred in order to continue to support the recovery of the Bully Wee however we will respect the wishes of individual donators.
