The Notts County Supporters Trust was formed on Wednesday 15th January, 2003. Within months, the Trust was facing arguably the greatest threat ever to the survival of Notts County as a football club. In administration since June 2002, debts continued to grow - previous mismanagement of the Club, the demise of ITV Digital, the collapse of the transfer market and spiralling wage costs all contributed and the situation steadily reached crisis point. Of course, the innocent victims were, as ever, the supporters.

As takeover bids came and went, disaster loomed and in September 2003 the most likely outcome was the end of the world's oldest football league club. For Notts supporters, this was unthinkable and a last-ditch consortium was formed to raise the money needed to save the club. As part of this "Blenhiem Consortium", the Trust had to raise £250,000 in a matter of weeks. Frantic fundraising and takeover negotiation followed to secure the future of our Club and the whole football community came together to help us achieve that aim.

Since then, the Trust has been working to improve communications and to represent the views of its members at boardroom level. The Trust has helped to organise club Open Days, funded player purchases and consistently invested in the future of Notts County FC.
