    If I have inferred she would sell selectively it certainly was not my intention.

    As you may know, she has sold some of her personal allocation to a number of fans and groups including Winterton Iron, the Iron Trust and myself. The club have also invited all fans in to discuss becoming a shareholder or to increase their shareholding position on a number of occasions.

    BTW I’m not against the share builder idea. I do think plenty of fans would get behind it.

    MH purchased 92% from Hilton, and gave 60% away to Roj, Ian and George. She is also keeping her 20%. If the additional shares are sold, they will all have equal shareholding.

    She has been selling the additional shares via share days and donating the money back to the club, but will stop at 20% percent.

    I would imagine if the Trust have money to purchase more shares they will be able to do so at a forthcoming “share day” as they have done in the past.

    Michelle has sold shares to the Trust on several occasions from her personal holding.

    Check the confirmation statement at Companies House. I’m not wrong.

    As I understand it, Ian, George and Roj have 20% of the club each (90k shares). As of the confirmation statement in February, Michelle had circa 105,000 shares, and she has the casting vote as chair.

    Michelle has already sold some of her personal shares to fans over the past 18 months as I purchased some myself. I would imagine for any investment (Trust or otherwise) each member of the board would have to agree to equally dilute their shares.

    I certainly sleep easier knowing she has the final say and really hope it stays this way.

    I believe they have enough for the players and a few extra, but nowhere near the quantities required to put them on sale.
    The worst efforts I have seen in many years. Surely the third strip won’t be amber and black?

    For those that have never played before there will be five fixtures per SUFC matchday where possible (League and Cup games).

    You can sign up at the link below. Thank you for your continued support.

    A massive thank you to everybody who bought tickets in the raffle. 100% of the money raised (£615) will be put back into SUFC.

    The draw was done randomly with Grok and the winner was picked as Ted Flanagan. Congrats, Ted! We will be in touch to arrange delivery of your prize.

    I was told “If it’s not a success it has an impact on all involved” by the promoter, but that they were taking on most of the risk.

    Believe it is the group that were behind the UK arm of Hummell that went bust. Big risk and a kick in the nuts to Kelme who have been absolutely brilliant with the club for the past couple of seasons.

    He’s out of contract and been training with us for some time. Would be a good move for all parties I reckon.

    I received an email last week offering me 50% off tickets, so presume they are selling very poorly indeed.

    Very much doubt it is a paid role. On LinkedIn there is a post where he describes Ian Sharp as one of his closest friends.

    Staging a load of tribute bands and local acts will never ever attract 10,000 people for each day. In fact, it’d be lucky to get 500 – 1,000. It represents a massive financial risk.

    I’ve seen around 15 acts on the line up… things can only get better…
    There are a few one hit wonders and blasts from the past. None of the acts appeal to me in the slightest. I am hoping they have a few decent headliners up their sleeve, otherwise I fear it will flop.

    Williams has been training with us for six weeks, so they have done well to keep it under wraps. He has impressed and they are just waiting on the international clearance.

    Beck is certainly a target but he is on loan at Gateshead at the moment and is taking some convincing to drop to the NLN.

    We definitely need a reinforcement or two but I’d rather we bide our time and sign one of our top targets than waste money on panic signings like last season. We cant afford any more Youmbiesque youngsters that are simply signed to make up the numbers. They have to be oven ready.

    Kid seems to know where the net is?

    Both strikers looked ok and caused us a few problems with intelligent runs on the break. Tom Jones looked a tidy player for them.

    I’d be interested to know if Iron Stats has the numbers on how many assists/goals he provided in his time here.

    One assist and one goal in two seasons. A very poor return considering how many times he bombed forward a game.

    Not too disappointed after last night as they were excellent and will likely be promoted again. For the first half an hour we were chasing shadows. They were quicker, calm on the ball and really clinical. The first goal was outrageously good. We improved after the break, particularly after the first round of subs, which was a good job as there was a worry the score was going to get a bit silly. Butler has got some decisions to make and I’d be shocked if the team that started last night play at Brackley. Denton, Roberts and Brogan have to start and I’d play Scales at RWB ahead of Barrows. I think the big call is Beest or Carlton alongside Whitehall.

    Yes we are sponsoring his home shirt again this year. I am hoping we will also be able to sponsor one other player in the next week or two, once the final few prediction league entries trickle in. It will likely have to be an away or third shirt as they are a little bit cheaper.

    The club are only leasing the training pitch at the Attis at the moment. Would not be surprised if it was developed in the longer term and training moved to Quibell Park.
