Bees United has now made loans of over £330,000 to Brentford FC to help keep the Club out of administration.
Under the terms of the Bees United loan agreement with the Club, the supporters trust are now in a position to nominate a further director for appointment to the board of Brentford FC Limited.
To take advantage of this opportunity, the Bees United board has decided to hold an election among our members. The result will be decided on the basis of ‘first past the post’. We are now seeking nominations from Bees United members who wish to stand as candidates in this election.
To be eligible to represent Bees United on the football club board you must:
Be a voting member of Bees United in good standing at 31 May.
Submit a written application supported by two voting members of Bees United in good standing.
All applicants for this office will be entitled to furnish a written statement of up to 500 words to be included with the postal ballot forms to be sent to members and posted on the Bees United website.
In addition each applicant will be required to sign the Brentford F.C. Code of Conduct for Brentford Football Club Directors and make a declaration of compliance with the Football Leagues’ new “Fit and Proper Test for Football Club Directors” rules and guidance. These will be sent out to all applicants.
Bees United nominations to the board are subject to the endorsement of the existing board of directors of Brentford FC Limited. Bees United representatives on the club board are required to submit to re-election every three years.
The closing date for nominations is 19th July, 2004. Please return your written application, signed by a proposer and a seconder, to:
