#73: Scunthorpe / flourishing as a fan-owned club

In the first segment of the episode, we've got clips from regular contributor Ian as he recounts the tale of County's win at Scunthorpe in the latest instalment of a feature we've decided to call "Ian Street hits the north". Ian is then joined by Ed and Jamie to analyse the result in a bit more detail as we consider the importance of strength in depth and competition for places in the second half of the season.

We then zoom out a little in the final part of our trilogy looking at how football is run. Having set ourselves the essay question "How can County survive and thrive as a fan-owned club?", we discuss how the Trust model needs to grow, whether and how we can develop a stake in our own stadium, and the importance of having a 'whole-club ethos'. If you're not a Supporters Trust member, give your head a wobble before signing up here.

We'll be back in the week ahead with reaction to the game at Brisbane Road and the first match in front of fans at Rodney Parade so far in 2022. In the meantime, drop us a line via Twitter or Facebook with any feedback.
