I'm just wondering if the majority of fans on here are also shareholders - on an individual basis, and, therefore, have previously voted on matters at the AGM, such as who gets elected to the Board? I'm not referring to the share scheme overseen by the SC, or the election of the Fans Directors.
The reason for asking is that I received this response in a thread on the other forum: "If you really are a committed supporter why are you not a shareholder? Then you would have a REAL interest in YOUR CLUB."
Maybe I'm in a minority, as I'm obviously not considered to be committed enough.

Tilly it's utter rubbish just because some folks have the money to buy shares doesn't make them any more committed than the rest of us,it's financial elitism and snobbery of the worse kind. It's what's in your heart not your wallet that matters. |

Vacuous nonsense from the gutter forum as per normal. Move along. |

As an investment professional I can safely say shares in lower league football clubs aren’t typically associated with good returns.
You’re better off just donating to the club. They will dilute your holding through share issuance.
Personally I never buy a ST and pay full at the gate. I’m probably the most profitably customer they’ve ever had.

If the person who replied to you thinks that 'care , love and commitment' is measured financially then they are to be pitied as they know not and probably never will know the true meaning of the terms.

Most won’t have the cash to buy shares in Rovers.
Utterly pointless anyway now with our sugar daddy. And hasn’t been pushed in an age.

Tell the person who said that to you that you don't have to be a shareholder to be a committed supporter.
As fans we are stakeholders and that means we can affect or be affected by the organisation's actions, objectives and policies.
"A shareholder owns part of a public company through shares of stock, while a stakeholder has an interest in the performance of a company for reasons other than stock performance or appreciation. These reasons often mean that the stakeholder has a greater need for the company to succeed over a longer term."

Well done, you did well to deal with it as calmly as you did. It’s complete nonsense of course and I was surprised because I though all this stuff about ‘I pay more than you, I watch us more than you so I’m a better supporter than you’ had been dead and buried some time ago. I was wrong. Don't give it too much thought Tilly, not worth it. Total b****x. UTG! |

Need an option for ‘don’t know/ can’t remember’. I think I paid into the sharescheme when it first started (minimum amount) but so long ago!

I anticipate the answers are: 1) you can't unless somebody offers to sell you their's or the club issue more shares, both of which seem unlikely 2) a pure guess, £10 per share? |

I thought you had to buy a grands worth? Tenner here or there not a big deal but a grand for most is a huge deal. |

I very rarely read the other forum, pretty much I only do if Gaschat is rarely offline for some reason. Sounds like I'm not missing much if that's the sort of crap that gets spouted by some on there.

To be fair Jomo, the person saying this gets plenty of stick over there, if not more than here. And that view is very much in the smallest of minorities over there as it is on here. And, as I use both, I’d say although smaller over there you do get some good stuff being discussed. They are just different and there are some good people posting over there. For the sake of balance! 😉 UTG! |
