come on let's not try and complicate it. A share is a share in a business the clue is in the name!

I have a limited company and there are 8 shares in issue currently held by 2 people. If I created a 9th and sold it to you you would be invested in my business and would expect a portion on control and profit proportionate to your share holding plc or not to plc

Granted Wakey shares may have special terms re profit but they should have a value if the co is sold on otherwise you have been sold a piece of paper only.

Why have a min investment for a piece of paper?

No wonder yorkshiremen get called tight and penny pinchers Its for the club not personal profit.

Yeah it's for the club we love but with credit crunch on we need to be looking after outselfs too.

Hard time for people to come up with money to get shares in club, and may not make any money back.

So why havent you put £100 donation when we were struggling in pre-season. This is not a question directed to you personally (even though ive quoted you ).

All im saying is that why has it needed the return of a piece of paper with 100 shares written on it to make people invest in the club.

Who says i've not already done that.

Gets me into the meetings does that bit of paper thats the only reason.


I would like to get some shares for my lads but i can't run to 200 squid and would have prefered 50 each.

I could just chuck 100 in but the lads would have liked to be shareholders (for what its worth)

Adam, you'll never get anything back mate, it's a donation end of.

It is yeah and a good one at that. But £100 a pop May not seem like a lot to some people, but when you don't really get anything back in return it's hard to take it up mainly with the current situation for everyone

I put enough money into club as it is.

As i said, i wasnt questioning your commitment to the club as I have an idea of what you do.

It was merely a question asking why a piece of paper with no chance of a return and no stake in the club would prompt people too put money in the club.

How many people buy lottery tickets every week with only a very small chance of winning a tenner, not everything is about making a profit.

They are £1 and the point is you stand to win a shit load of money! Then you could buy as many shares as you want

£100 is a complete different story.
