Was just curious to see who our shreholders were.

I believe Gallary LeShon was Ted and Brians company that went bust...

Intresting was Sir Rodney Walker given 45000 shares for paying the tax off ?
Sir Rodney is the controlling shareholder of Myerscough Holdings Ltd

Also is Duncan Developments the ground developer who own 75000 shares?

There appears to be a common theme here as far as Ted and his business ventures are concerned, it starts with B and ends in t

I think that is an old list tbh.

Sir Rodney had his shares from long back - and yes, Myerscough is his.

Duncan developments have not existed for donkeys.

Mr Woodhead owns half of wakey city centre im pretty sure; I know him a little might have to get on the dog and bone.

I think he is already the Chairman at Dewsbury - certainly a director there!

I thought Mr Woodhead had a fall out a few seasons ago

Was that after he and Mr. Topliss had their failed bid for the club?

Not sure on the reason TBH

Different Woodhead (that's Melvin in properties) This is Mark who is in insurence (WTJ) and yes I believe he went over to Dewsbury after a difference with Wakey!

Let me guess he told Ted not to spend any money until he had done some checks on Pearman and Ted ignored him?

I have only just read the official statement on the club website and to say I am fuming is an understatement.
The arrogance of the BOD knows no bounds. Basically they have totally cocked everything up and then have the temerity to expect others to sort the mess out by donating (cos it ain't an investment) and asking how much the club mean to us. Well how much did it mean to them when they were running it into the ground?

The key point they miss is that the best time that new investment could have been attracted has gone, they are basically expecting it, when we have no cards left to play.

I trust that as they got us into this mess, the BOD will be donating some money out of their own pockets to the 500 grand (but without any shares going their way?)

That's a little bit 'ivory tower'. No-one who went to the shareholders meeting would agree with you because they listened, understood and appreciated the difficulties which come with trying to run the show.

And yes, the BoD did offer to stump up towards the total requirement.

I'm not suggesting that some things couldn't have been done differently, but I have no doubt that people took decisions which they genuinely thought to be right for the club at the time they were taken.

Four points TRB :

(1) It would be interesting to conduct a poll of those who attended the meeting and see if your comment is correct

(2) Assuming you are correct re the views of those who attended the meeting, do you not think it would be a good idea to tell everyone who didn't attend (including non shareholding fans) what was said, they are then more likely to get people to consider investing (sorry donating).

(3) How much are the BOD willing to donate? Shouldn't this be factored in and the number of people required to buy a grand of shares reduced? You may find some people don't bother because i) they don't know how much the BOD are donating; (ii) they believe there is no chance of reaching the target

(4) If we only need GBP 350k to fill the whole why are we asking for GBP 500k? The offer seems to be if we dont raise 500k you can have your money back
