After a unanimous vote on August 19, Bilston Town FC will adopt a 'supporter-owned' Community Benefit Society (CBS) model to run as a 'one member - one vote' group.

If ratified by the Financial Conduct Association next month it will see fans be able to become shareholders, have more control over the direction of the club and be able to contribute and participate in its future.

Members of the club shook hands on the deal before the Midland Football League Division One game with Coventry Copsewood on Bank Holiday Monday, a game attended by around 200 spectators.
