Difficult to purchase a significant amount of shares if you only charge £10 for a lifetime membership.
Hence the recent scheme to raise £100,000 and to earn at least a seat at the boardroom table if not the ability to influence decisions.
If the club agreed the scheme I would have handed the trust £1,000 towards it’s target. My motive is to help protect the club against toxic owners and hair brained ownership changes.
No point in me buying £1,000 worth on my own as that achieves nothing in terms of supporter oversight on the custodians of the club.
If there are enough supporters thinking similarly then the trust could easily meet the £100,000 target and probably beat it.
Some or all of the current owners obviously do not want oversight from representatives of the supporters. Makes me wonder why and concerns me for the future.
