Harrogate Town Supporters Trust has admitted making mistakes in the early days of its existence, which led to a fierce backlash from some Town fans.
The trust was set-up by the club in July to give fans a say in running the club.
But some members of the independent Harrogate Town Supporters Club, which has been in existence for more than a decade, believed the trust was an attempt to undermine its work.
Other football league clubs, such as Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City, already have fans trusts, which are democratically run and governed by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Tensions emerged in July when Clare Bridge, chair of the trust, told the Stray Ferret the group would put on coach trips to away matches due to the "drunken behaviour" of members of the supporters club on their coaches — a claim the supporters club disputed.
