The Well Society is proud to announce the launch of ‘The People’s Game: An Introduction to Supporter Ownership and Community Building’ – the first course of its kind in Scotland.
Built by the fans, for the fans, this free online course is exclusively available to Well Society members as part of their membership benefits. Developed in consultation with the Well Society members, the course explores the history, principles, and future of supporter ownership, while highlighting how collective fan power can strengthen football clubs and local communities.
Running over seven consecutive Thursday evenings from 9th October to 20th November from 6.30pm until 8.00pm, the course will cover:
• The history and values of supporter ownership
• Models of supporter and community ownership worldwide
• Governance and football finance
• The role of fan ownership in community building
• The future of supporter ownership
Participants will also have the chance to contribute their ideas directly to the Well Society Board, helping shape the future of supporter ownership at Motherwell Football Club and beyond. Everyone who completes the course will receive a Well Society Certificate of Achievement, presented at a special Fir Park event later in the season.
“This course is a landmark moment for the Well Society and Scottish football,” said Derek Watson, chair of The Well Society. “We’re proud to empower our members with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of our club and community.”
