I see you can buy them from the online store.

Has anyone done it? Obviously there is pretty much zero chance of a return on your investment but are there are any benefits? I'm stuck for gift ideas and getting desperate!

In the past if you bought £500 worth you could have a place on the board.

An Ex bought some for me about 15 years ago. Purely decorative really, quite expensive, and pretty much useless. The shares were ok though.

I was just about to ask what is the max you can buy??

I'm sure if you tried to buy say 500 the Club would be in touch straight away right?

Have a word with our race horse trainer who I believe only owns £500 worth.

He might give you a tip on how to get on the board .

Interesting...

As a public company, I'd be interested to know what authority limit there is on these shares. Creating shares needs board approval, and I guess they don't do that for each order on the store!

I guess most people buy them as a "gift" for the certificate, but these are shares in the company, so I personally think its irresponsible to just whack them on the website with this heading without properly explaining what it all means.

Wonder how many other clubs do it like this, without having a proper scheme for fan ownership.... i.e. see if we can fleece some fans for £100 for a "gift" and keep stum on everything else...

I suppose the things it can buy you are limited. The main thing being the right to attend the AGM and any other shareholder meetings that might crop up, and vote at them. Obviously unless you're into the hundreds of thousands your influence will be extremely limited.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
