In this report, Dr Adam Brown examines Supporters Direct’s belief that a Community Owned Sports Club scheme will both enhance and reward the benefits that clubs which are community owned deliver and incentivise more clubs to become community owned an identifies these ten key benefits of the scheme:

It will increase financial sustainability and transparency in sport through community ownership
It will improve governance in sport
It will encourage wider community participation in ownership
It will help deliver volunteer participation and value
It will encourage community engagement in sports clubs
It will encourage sports clubs to deliver local services and facilities
It will help deliver increased inward investment in areas of deprivation
It will develop new or protect existing community sports and non-sports facilities
It will help level sport’s uneven financial playing field
It will incentivise the expansion of community ownership by creating more wholly community owned clubs
