Salford - New stadium on the way/building a great team for 2011 - IN

St.Helens - New stadium on the way/no brainer anyway - IN

Warrington - No brainer - IN

Wigan - No brainer - IN

.........................Which only leaves Wakefield, so a message to them 500 fans, "SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!"

The only questionable one is the Castleford issue, as unless they are building or can demonstrate that they have all the money, I think they might go, but would be replaced by Halifax rather than us.

I thought also that the club statement had a touch of petulance about it,ie, you want a club, well get your hand in your pocket, and you think you can run it better, well get on with it then. Here's the key to the Trophy cabinet, etc.

I think Teds shares would still place him as the majority shareholder if you were to buy just 2,501 of the new share offer.

Surely there must be enough shares now available for a group of supporters to form some kind of trust make this no longer the case. There certainly should be after the next share option if the deadline is met. Every time more and more shares are issued then the majority holding obviously becomes less.

Before the last share offer Ted Richardson was the majority shareholder and according forum gossip and media speculation he still is. Surely after the last share offer his majority shareholder status was potentially still true but him holding the majority percentage of available shares .
can't be correct.

Put it in simple terms before the previous share option say there were 100 shares and Ted owned 51 of them or 51%, then another 100 shares were made available in the last share option wouldn't Ted's shareholding now be 25.5% of the available shares (based on him not purchasing any more).

These are obviously not accurate figures just examples.

Can someone please explain to me WHY the developer was going to give Wakefield Wildcats £350,000??? is this from York court as a brown envelope payment for letting them use a stadium and sporting facilities as a convenient excuse for getting them the planning permission granted??

OR

Does it mean from the developers/Purchasers of Belle vue??

Answers on a postcard please...................

Ted currently owns the vast majority of the issued shares. Not sure on the exact percentage, but it is massively more than all the other shareholders put together.

The way i see it is that if we don't get investment and go bust the current shares are not worth jack. Wouldn't suprise me if someone was waiting in the wings to clean up and get the club for nothing then with nothing to pay for the club they would have more money for investment. Risky venture for us but nothing to loose for possible suiters.

dont tell anyone shuuuuuussssshhhhh

Is it to late to get a refund on my season ticket?!?!!

Surely you should be able to get a refund on anything you buy from the club within a 28 day period, I believe (if you've kept a receipt)?

Its over the 28 day period......

It would have to be at the discretion of the club then, I presume. You'd have to contact them.

I'l better do it before the 31st I think!
