Kinda cool. But I still don't see it actually *solving* anything. I guess it would help with transparency, but I find it hard to believe that we wouldn't just end up in a death by a thousand cuts indecisive mess. That said, I'm up for getting my hands on some shares. Where do I sign up?!?

Damn, I sort of hoped there was something in it, to give creditors something back and stop the regular depressing news that player X signed for Huddersfield, Salford et al

Indeed. But if there is no big money backer then we won't progress out of not existing. Think of it this way - under this model we all get to play at being a mini Omar, Marc, Ryan Whitcu*t, Chris Caisley etc. What larks eh?

| I was expecting an all trumping super bid to come in and take us straight out of admin.
Oh well looks like a week of constantly checking social media instead of working again!
we could in theory have a new owner for the select game on Sunday.
also on a positive note we still have Moss, Chissy and Burr from the training picture and what chistolm has posted on social Twitter.

| So we are playing at Batley on Sunday? The players who are still here? Or just random players?
But it's not been announced yet?
I'm so confused.
Please help. Someone, somewhere, please buy this club, or put it down....

| Wouldn't mind an ownership where we have a bit of money behind it from the owners with a development plan for Odsal. Then as an extra, we as fans have an option to pay £20 a year to the club to become 'shareholders'. Each fan who pays gets 1 vote. All 'members' would then receive a vote on how money is spent at the club.
This way the fans don't own the club but raise cash for the club, if 2,000 fans did this each year it's £40,000 a year for the club and teh fans have a say in how money is spent etc within the club. Would require an open, honest approach and accounts would need to be public too.

This type of model allows for enough outside investment to build the club at a steady pace, but it also means that the businessmen who are putting money in will have to consult with fans on all major decisions. In essence its a way of protecting everyone from themselves.
In his interview in LE Marc Green said he saw the money coming in decreasing and his answer was to spend more. With the Lamb/Irvine model this would not be allowed to happen as it would be blocked at board level. The fans could each pay £5 - £10 to become members just like the Hull KR supporters group but in return you get more than a membership card and members baseball cap, you get to either elect a couple of board members or if you feel qualified you could put yourself forward to sit on the board.
I think its an interesting concept that has the potential to allow the club to progress within its means and not overstretch its finances. At the end of the day RL are totally dependent on fan income streams as well as Sky money so why not have the fans elect some board members to protect their club.

I wonder whether, if voting rights are conferred alongside season tickets, we can avoid paying any VAT on ST sales. I'm sure that'd work.

Brexit - we don't need the other 39 clubs. We've got a proud history and are stronger on our own. The parallels are endless!
