The Trust

The Arsenal Supporters' Trust

Arsenal Supporters' Trust has been created to:

Promote the interests of supporters who own shares in Arsenal Football Club
Facilitate wider supporter involvement in the club
Facilitate and promote mutual supporter ownership of Arsenal

We have been established since 2003 and have made good progress in developing a working relationship with the club and raising the profile of share ownership issues. Membership has continued to grow and we now have more than 500 members who collectively speak for approximately 3% of the club’s equity. Approximately 12% of the Club’s equity is owned by small shareholders like us.

On this website you will see the range of activities we are involved in including meeting with the major shareholders in Arsenal Football club, gaining press coverage of our activities, scrutinising Arsenal’s financial progress, attending club events and raising the profile of the club through marketing activities.

Shared ownership in Arsenal

Every member of the Arsenal Supporters' Trust shares in ownership of Arsenal Football Club.

The Arsenal Supporters' Trust is registered as an Industrial and Provident Society. This means we are a mutual company, owned equally by all of our members. Each member has one vote in the Trust's elections and decisions we make about how to use our shareholding.

In 2004 we purchased our first share in the club (for a copy of our share certificate click here) and at the 2006 Arsenal Holdings plc AGM it was confirmed the club would be giving the Trust a share. The Trust also bought a further share in September 2006 taking the number of shares we own to three.

Getting involved

We hope you will support us achieve this. Please do have a look at our site, read what we've done so far and sign up to membership (less than the price of one match ticket for a whole year). Even better, come along to one of our meetings and get involved. We look forward to hearing from you.

Every member is eligible to stand for election and to vote for candidates for the AST board which is accountable to you and your fellow AST members.
