Share Issue Promotion
 

The Bee are currently present on Broadway promoting the share issue.

Have to say it's the best performance in a Stanley shirt I've seen this season :D

Saw one Accyweb member dressed up in the gear but claiming she hadn't taken part :p

I couldn't - me artritis was playin' up this morning :rolleyes:

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

On a serious note, having read the brochure the application form only gives an option for full payment. Fairly sure when it was first brought up there was to be an installment option to make it available to as many people as possible. Has this idea now been dropped ?

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

I spoke to Maureen Shaw on saturday briefly and she said she was sure there was some sort of payment scheme package available.

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

seems odd then the brochure don't?:confused:

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

Lots more people will opt in using that system. I know from an admin point of view it's not the best thing but in terms of more people taking part and feeling included it is important that the any information of that sort is issued asap

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

how much are the shares?

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

£100

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

I'm sorry I may have spoken out of turn by misreporting my conversation with Maureen. What we were talking about was that at the share meeting it was definately stated that a pay in instalments package would be looked at, not that one is actually available! My mistake not Maureen's!

This is what happens when you talk about these things whilst being badgered by a four year old!! Lol

At the risk of being branded negative, but I can't believe that people have not commented more on the pricing used in this share issue.

From my perspective, I can't help but feel that the shares are over-priced at £100 each. It's obvious that the shares have no real monetary value as such, and are therefore only 'valuable' in terms of them being 'Stanley shares' - an opportunity to 'own' a piece of the club.

The ownership of 1 share is really neither here nor there and whilst the ownership of 10 shares wouldn't give you any more say in things, it feels as though you're getting more for your money. With this in mind, pricing the shares at £10 each would surely have generated more interest amongst the masses.

From a personal perspective, at £100 for one I'm not interested in adding to my very tiny share holding, but at £10 each I might have bought 10 or so. In the grand scale of things it makes little difference I suppose, but I like to feel that I'm getting something for my cash.

Re: Share Issue Promotion
 

Can see you're point about feeling like you're getting more for your money but just imagine if one person bought one share at a tenner and they sold them all, they would have to find an AGM venue for 100,000 people :)

Reading about the share issue in the Observer at the weekend

Only problem it was from the 1950's

Cheers, Anzac, very interesting. I remember my old fella telling me he bought one of those. Never got invited to any shareholders' meetings, mind.

Great headline - "Accrington Stanley can still be saved from disaster". It's never been an easy life, being a Stanley fan, has it? :rolleyes:
