Both my husband & I - also my sister bought shares in Bradford Northern when Deryck Fox came to play for us. At the time the Club asked for shares to be purchased so we could have a Big Signing to complement our team. In those days, it was difficult to have new players, our crowds not being so large then... maybe 3000 - 4000. We paid for the shares not expecting any return from them, so don't feel as though we have lost them. The only thing at that time was to improve our team. We must never go back to those days. and must back Francis Cummings and the team (and new buyers) to make sure this never happens again.
There hasn't been a new share issue since those days. The main shareholders held approx. 100,000 ordinary £1 shares out of the total issue of 197,000.

So they held the sway.

Not many copies about. It never got an ISBN number. Small print run.

Worth its weight in gold!

It is worth its weight in gold. Just to check facts in case of a disagreement about who did what or how many tries or goals scored by an individual. I`ve followed Northern/Bulls since 1962 (was one of the 324, what a claim to fame, can`t be many of us left, we should have a reunion in a telephone box) and just looking at the names in the pages brings back memories of players I`d forgotten about.

Wasn't meaning to sound over the top, just replying to Ferocious Aardwark's question re old shareholders. Many fans also bought shares at that time.

Supercillous little toadie are you not????

Yours Prince Phillip!
