How about plugging the share offer a little more than we have been doing? The money is supposed to be going towards players, after all.

Good to see they can afford to waste postage like that. I've had none.

I've had 2 but there are 3 of us shareholders.

I've said it before and mentioned it to the BoD that we should offer some incentives to attract the purchase of shares but it falls on deaf ears.

We are in a recession, money is tight, why don't we offer something like £20 off the cost of a season ticket for 5 years for every 100 £1 shares purchased. The club gets the money, someone possibly committed to being a season ticket holder for 5 years and the purchaser gets the money back in 5 years and has 100 shares in the club. Win-Win as far as I see it.

Everyone is looking after what money they have due to fear of what maybe round the corner.

Re the shares letters.....

The club have taken their database of existing shareholders and have written to each one with details of the share offer and a form already part filled in and ready to return. This is part of their commitment to allowing the offer to be available to existing shareholders first.

From the beginning of July the offer will be available more widely. At this point the aim is to try and get details to all the current season ticket holders, as this will be the most accurate database available, together with the e-mail facility they have.

We did narrow the details down to one letter per shareholder, but though it sounds easy to put them all in one envelope for one address, it is not so easy to match them all up when there's several hundred to do.

How do I know all this - because I did it on behalf of the club - partly based on some of the 'feed-back' on here about the lack of details being issued.

So, my/our words have been heard and we have now begun to plug the gap and, hopefully, we will raise the cash that is needed to put next years - improved - side together.

If you are a shareholder and don't get a letter, then you're address is probably not up-to-date on the clubs database. In which case, please write to the club with your new details and a request for the latter / form required.

One last thing - for anyone who's recieved a letter - can you let me know what you thought of the quality of letter / details etc - all feed-back accepted, good or bad!
