So...they want you to stump up the £500,000 while discussions of a potential take over are in effect? They get the best of both worlds?

Thank god for that. Well done everyone.

Great they were able to confirm that a number of confidential discussions are underway...

Yes, not overly convinced about the plans for the future...

I on the other hand are VERY excited about the talks that are underway

Yes, Well done to All who have supported this great team, i will be paying tomorrow, lets hope we do not have to go through this again my heart cannot stand it

Off to pay my £100 plus £200 for the Burgess shirt

Shopping in Lidl for a couple of weeks now

The tone of the statement sounds very positive about the talks that are under way so hopefully one of these will come off bringing in a new shareholder with new ideas and hopefully a profitable business plan to ensure we don't go this way again while still being competitive on the field

All paid. Typically - it's not as easy as it could be!

That is what our pledge money has done! It has bought time to find,negotiate and settle a new finance deal with someone somewhere. I am pleased and hopeful now that there are people wanting to buy in and maybe wanted to see the fans commitment first. I believe we have demonstrated our commitment to the Bulls in spades and would hope that this gives the current board enough to sell us as a going concern "fan base wise" to whoever is interested. Feeling much more confident at the moment. Paid my money already.

best of both worlds? it was always going to be thus to anybody with two grey cells. Half a million is a big ask, where was the next tranche going to come from? this is the best possible news, that they have the immediate target sorted AND are in talks for further funds. Yes it would be nice to know who and how much, whether Caisleys shares are part of the wash, etc, but if it took a couple of extensions to get a bit more time to check that these investors are genuine then the wait has been worth it. And Gurus_Beard/CC, if I was Hood and knew I had to look for longer term investors, what would I first do but tie down Whitehead and Bateman etc to long term contracts as inducement? Surely a better way to use these lads talents, as bait for investment, than sell them?

will be intresting to see the final amount "With a total of £506,000 pledged " so if 61 people pledged £100 just for a laugh, or to see what the pledging process actually was or have since changed their minds the clube will be short of the actually target, not much but still fine fine margains

I nearly got charged a fiver for delivery.
