FANS fighting to save York City have confirmed Friday, February 1, as the date when it is hoped a Supporters' Trust will be formally launched.

York's Barbican Centre will be the venue for the supporters' second public meeting, when the Save City working party will report back to the fans.

It is expected the establishing of a Trust will be little more than a formality at the meeting, kick-starting the next stage in the fans' campaign to have a say in the running of their club.

Organisers and members of the Save City Committee are also hoping to hold a number of events at the meeting, including an auction to raise funds for the Trust.
