The reborn Western Force are set to become Australia’s premier fan-owned club under a resurrected Own the Force campaign.
Talks between World Series Rugby and a group of influential powerbrokers in the WA rugby community, including a number who financially backed the original 2004 Super Rugby bid, have been held to discuss the club’s ownership.
Billionaire Andrew Forrest has been bankrolling the Force since Rugby Australia cut them from Super Rugby last year.
The ownership move would allow Forrest to concentrate on the new WSR competition as it moves into expansion mode next season.
The community group is looking to launch a new Own the Force Campaign, first used in 2016 when the club was battling for survival.
