Re: 1000 Shares Issue!!!

Value for money doesn't matter a jot. I just see this scheme as half arsed.

A massive issue of brand new shares would've cleared all of the club's debts and recapitalised the club. That's properly saving the club; properly preparing it for the future. How can fans forgive David O'Neill for passing that up?

But I'm sure the new shirt will be splendid and the frame for the stifficate will be lovely. I'll probably get one. That's what happens when your heartstrings are being tugged and shiny stuff with all kinds of emblems are waved in your face.

And thats why football is like no other business, it's difficult as a customer to take your business elsewhere :(

Easy, have a share of a share..... 10 of ya, £25 each, do a draw for the shirt, get 10 photocopies & 10 £2 frames....

There ya go, a share of a share & you can still say "I am a shareholder & I did my bit!"

Out of curiosity what do those who hold season tickets think. Those who don't have them are probably looking at the package as a good buy if they can use the ten tickets. Should they have done something different for ST holders ?

That's an important point, Dave. I've already expressed my thoughts as below.

A season ticket, two shirt sponsorships, donations to SOS - and now this. As a "deal", it's not worth it in my opinion. As a meaningful share in the club, it's a non-event. As a donation, it's a heck of a lot of money.

Some will take it up, some won't!
If I was a "won't" I still wouldn't post anything negative for fear of changing someones mind who will commit £250 to the cause

Rob & David have taken some flak but have come up with step 1 in a legitimate plan for the future. ASFC must be self sufficient whether a benefator is out there or not. After all, Jack Walker passed away at Ewood & the spending slowed down.

The value for money issue is irrelevant. Nobody should be buying a share as a business deal. Its to save the club. Its to own a piece of ASFC however small. Its something to tell people over dinner parties. I am an ASFC shareholder! Briliant. It will be a weeks wage but I am in.... The value of Stanley, to me, is priceless & so I will get my 0.001% of priceless.

On Stanley On!

My Sentiments Exactly!!!!!!!!!!...Spot On!!;)

Going to do it anyway........ :D

Actually proved a lot easier than I thought, Doug. Arguments deployed included:

1. "Think of it as an early Christmas present."

2. "It's a one-off...I'll never ever do it again."

3. "You spent over two hundred quid on clothes last month." (The latter did not prove a particularly promising approach and I quickly abandoned it.)

4. "If I don't and they go to the wall, you'll have to put up with me whinging on Saturday afternoons." (Many thanks to Baggy for that particular stroke of inspiration).

Result!...and, yes, I know, my share won't be worth much and I won't have any voting rights and, as a season ticket holder, my flexi-tickets will be sod all use...but, symbolically, at least, I'll have a little piece of Stanley! :) :cool:
