Maybe able to in the future mate, the Daughters at uni at the moment and we help her out a lot, hope all goes well with the idea though.

And yes we all love this great club.

Sorry johnny but 82% of 1500 getting involved......i know....and then you woke up.

But 1500 people havnt voted on the poll. I think the forum is where you will get more people that are hard core fans willing to donate than anywhere.

This negative can't do attitude has to go.

500 people is the figure I keep working on. I think that's a realistic figure.

500 people contributing £20 PCM is £120,000

I think I'm wide awake, I think it's time a few others woke up mate.

I voted no to contributing because I would need to see who was elected to the board before I parted with any cash. Therefore I wouldn't initially join in but if I was happy and confident with those selected I might then consider it.

You said 82% of leythers. IMO a "fan owned" club in RL would not work. Remind me how many there are.Why didn't Bradford or Crusaders or Salford go down this route? Where are Rochdale who have been supporter owned for a while? They have actually gone backwards. If it goes that way, just like fans have withdrawn support now cos they don't like Trevor, then fans will withdraw support cos they don't like the elected board under fan ownership. Just because someone's opinion is different to yours doesn't make it negative.

I appreciate your comments but assuming that we don't get a White Knight to pump money into the Club then what is the alternative way forward to ensure the future of our Club?

Initially getting the budget right. This would give a point to move forward from. Playing in a competition that allows progression earned on the field and not only in the pocket. The competition bit is obviously not something the club has control of. Having fans that support the local club and not fans that won't come because x is in charge. By the way the same thing would happen with a fan supported club.

We have to be ready for when the rules change.

I have noticed that there are one or two people on here who have been against the make up of SCL ever since they took over. There belongs are nothing more than personal grudges and are of no constructive use in the business world.

If the club had the top level to aim for or even the chance of playing in the second 10 of a 20 team sl comp with p&r then I think investors (not white knight) would be easier to find.

Other than those views i have no idea. Sorry one more thing....of the inactive shareholders there are at least 2 who I would love to see return to add knowledge and enthusiasm to the fight

It's the 'and then you woke up' that winds me up.

Rochdale taken oven in 2009 after bankruptcy:

2009: 8th from 10 teams
2010: 5th from 11 teams
2011: 4th from 10 teams
2012: 5th from 10 teams

'gone backwards'?

Why didn't Bradford, Crusaders and Salford go for fan ownership?

I don't know. Neither do you.

Also, if you read the very first part of the other thread I didn't say this was what I wanted yet.

2011 to 2012 they went backwards 2013 St Helens reserves.

In a straight answer then to the question. No I wouldn't. Well no more than i do now anyway. ST and LISA

That's fair enough mate. I don't know what's the best. I just think that if the club asked the fans to enter a pledge system from now until the end of the season at £x we could work out how much we could finance the club, if its not enough to work don't go through with it, if it is roll it out as soon as the season ends so there's. whole close season to get it up and running.

Portsmouth seem to be raising a few bob with their share ownership scheme £3.5m already

Just to beef out your statement Mo.

A local businessman has put up most of the money and will be elected chairman. The supporters trust get one seat on the board the chairman will appoint the rest of the board.

So it's nowt like a fan owned club then eh?
