Talk:Cambridge City F.C.

history update

amended best result from 1990-91, to 2004-05. 1990-01 was 3rd in southern premier, whichwas level 6 in the pyramid. Conference South as exists is also level 6, so 2nd is better. Pretty sure my maths is right! Bill Pollard 09:53, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Second paragraph
....is total gibberish, I would edit it but can't figure out what it is meant to say!!!!! ChrisTheDude 12:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Supporter Owned Club
The club is owned by the Cambridge City Supporters Trust and is therefore a supporter owned club.

From their website: By the time of the Supporters’ Trust Official Launch on 18 April 2006, City had become a supporters run club – this less than 8 weeks after it was decided to form a Trust.

If the Supporter's trust owns only part of the club, there needs to be some evidence to prove it.

 * - I guess I have no proof, but is that article really any proof of the club being owned by the supporters trust? The club has a number of shares that are owned by numerous people and no one has the majority of them so no one owns the club. - LS1234 (Upon reading that again I should add that I mean the website makes no mention of ownership.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LS1234 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

More on Supporter Owned
The following email was sent to me by Samuel Tudor, the secretary of the supporter's Trust, in reference to the club's ownership. Until such time as the ownership of the club is explicitly described either at the official club site or the supporter's trust, this should do as a reputable source: ''The situation with Cambridge City was pretty much unique in terms of trust control. It has since settled back into more usual territory.''

''The answer is that Cambridge City has never been *owned* by the trust. For a period of time (2006-10), it was *run* by the trust. The shareholders remained a disparate bunch of current and ex-supporters, with no majority shareholder - but the articles of association were changed so that the board were largely appointed by the trust. Hence why all the references used to be "trust-run" not "trust-owned".''

''In 2010 the articles of association were changed so that the trust appoints one director only. So CCFC is no longer even trust-run. Supporter-run would be fair comment (as in practice all the board are the same original trust-appointed directors), but not many clubs at our level are anything else!''

The largest shareholder owns 49% of the club - the trust own approximately 10% which is gradually increasing with time.

The club should therefore *not* be described as a "supporter owned" club.

Opening paragraph makes no sense
It currently says:

"The club were based at the City Ground, Cambridge, between 1922 and 2013. After a groundshare at Histon's Bridge Road groundshare at Westwood Road in St Ives (2015–18) and Histon (2018–) while new ground at Sawston being built."

I wanted to edit it so it actually makes sense but don't know what it is trying to say. Can someone sort it please? Peteinterpol (talk) 09:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Best effort
Hi, it would be nice to have a clear statement of the highest tier they ever played in and highest league position attained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.252.68 (talk) 20:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
