Pompey trust delighted by civic award Thursday, 17th Apr 2014 22:45 by pompey-fans.com staff The Pompey Supporters' Trust say they are delighted to hear they have been awarded a Civic Award by Portsmouth City Council. Council leader Gerald Vernon Jackson, speaking at the PST one-year-on event at Fratton Park, said: ‘The PST deserve this Civic Award as recognition of the achievement of the volunteers who have run the Trust and all the people that contributed to the survival of the club. 'The way the PST has worked to bring financial stability to the club is text book example of how to take ownership back for the fans whose passion is the lifeblood of the club” PST chairman Ashley Brown added: “This is recognition of the efforts of not just the PST board members past and present, but all shareholders both individual and syndicates, our members and of course our presidents who continue to work so closely with us to ensure PFC is here for many years to come. 'It is a wonderful gesture for Gerald Vernon Jackson to have nominated the PST and for the City Council to honour us in this way. I hope this signals the strength of our ongoing partnership between the PST, PFC and the City Council.' The presentation of the award will be made at the Guildhall as part of the mayor making ceremony on Tuesday, June 3. If you would like to attend this special ceremony email john.kimbell@pompeytrust.com before May 16 with your name, phone number and the number of tickets you would like.
