APX Digital and The Iron Trust unveil new Digital Platform

The Iron Trust, the democratic supporters' trust for Scunthorpe United, has launched its new website at theirontrust.com, designed and built by APX Digital.

It's a fresh start for the trust online: a cleaner, faster site that works just as well on a phone as on a laptop, with new tools that make it easier than ever to join, stay involved and have your say.

What's new

• Join in minutes. Become a lifetime member online, from £10, paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• My Membership. Sign in with a one-time link sent to your email (no password to remember) and keep your details up to date yourself.
• Your membership card on your phone. Add your digital card to Apple Wallet, with a QR code volunteers can scan at Trust Corner.
• Have your say online. Take part in Trust polls and elections from wherever you are.
• Everything in one place. News, events you can add straight to your calendar, the board, partners, and a library of the trust's rules, policies and minutes.

Every link from the old site still works and takes you to its new home.

One member, one vote, wherever you are

The Iron Trust is built on a simple principle: one member, one vote, for life. Until now, voting meant being in the room. The new site brings that principle online. Each eligible membership gets one vote, polls open and close at times the board sets, and the ballot is secret by design, with the record of who has voted kept separate from how anyone voted.

A member who works Saturdays, lives away or can't make a meeting now has exactly the same voice as everyone else.

Why we did it

We believe in the Iron Trust. Supporters' trusts give fans a real and lasting voice in their club, and that matters in Scunthorpe as much as anywhere.

This platform is our investment in the trust's future and in the fans who will carry it forward, many of whom aren't members yet. We've built it to grow with the trust, and APX is covering its running costs for the first three years so the board can put its energy into supporters.

In the interest of transparency, APX Digital's founder Sam Beadle is an elected member of the Iron Trust board.
