The shares were opened up to the supporters at a meeting with the former chaiman John Alty. I don't think a lot of people took advantage of the offer.I know two of us purchased some shares.
Eric sent out a letter asking for people to donate their shares back to the Club, as quite a few owned one pound shares at that time. I think the reson was so that the Directors could purchase shares. Needless to say I and my mate did'nt.
Yes K.P. there does'nt seem to be any advantage in owning shares, other than when we did have shareholders meeting we did at least get to know the financial situation for the previous year, we were given audited accounts to study.
