Regarding the Shareholders meeting, does this include those who purchased shares around 2009?

If so will the club be informing them, or do they have to bring along their certificate as proof of their holding?

I think it's because you can't seem to be run like a family corner shop business then expect people to take you seriously when you talk about following correct procedures. The problem is we've been led down the garden path more times than I care to remember so people are suspicious of the club's capabilities to find a solution to the current problem. Despite the nods, winks and don't worries of those 'in the know' we are still going nowhere fast seems it's not just the mere ordinary fans who haven't got a clue it's those who are actually involved as well.

Well in an ideal world they should inform holders but we'll see, last time i went they had a list on entry and that should include all share holders. You could take your certificate along just in case but i bought some around that time.

In a nuttshell and some of the "ordinary fans" on here have gone way above that with sponsorship and the like, now i could see the other side of the debate if the path was not so long and well trodden.

roll up for the resident comedian,your pure quality

It was always likely that Newmarket wouldn't be ready for the start of the 2012 season if the application hadn't been called in. The PI guidelines mean that it has to commence within 22 weeks of the decision being made to call the application in. It's not a major scheme that would need a ridiculously long PI (unlike a new international airport for example) so the PI should be completed with in weeks rather than months once its underway. The SoS then has something like 7 weeks to give his decision.

On this basis, the outcome should be known in late summer. While this isn't ideal from a franchising perspective, there's no reason to think that we shouldn't be moving into Newmarket at the start of the 2013 season.

In the meantime we share at a ground that already meets SL standards (presumably Oakwell) - the only difference from Plan A being that we're there for a full season rather than half a season.




It's clear that a good number of posters on this forum have lost a proper sense of perspective in what's happening. The various rumours of impending doom are ONLY on this forum - or do you really think that WTWRLFC has so much power over the press that it's surpressing all sorts of rumours??? Yes, we are clearly at risk of losing our franchise, but no amount of moaning about this, that or t'other will change that.
