TRUST WORKING GROUP NAME INTERIM BOARD
The Devils Trust working group have named a three-strong interim board after their first meeting.

The working group consists of 10 of the steering group members who organised the open meeting at which Crawley Town fans voted to establish a trust, and other supporters who came forward to help get the trust up and running.

The meeting, attended by 20 fans in all, decided that Mark Ogbourne would be interim chairman of the trust until its first annual general meeting, with Simon King vice-chairman and David Morley as treasurer.

Of the interim board, only Mark was a member of the steering group.

Trust spokesman Phil Agius said: “The general feeling at the meeting was that the new faces were keen for the steering group to fill the places on the interim board.

“However, from the start the steering group had said they would not necessarily be involved on the board and we are delighted that both Simon and David, who have excellent credentials, are able to join Mark, who has been a key figure in liaising with Supporters Direct and has great experience in supporters organisations, on the interim board.

“It was great to see the new members of the working group adding further depth to the skills, experience, and ideas pool that the trust can draw upon and benefit from.

“The meeting strengthened our view that the supporters of Crawley Town Football Club have the passion and commitment to help secure its future.”

The Devils Trust's official board will be elected at the first annual general meeting.
