That is exactly where both Clan and Bren posts are most significant.
It is in our capabilities as fans to solve the problem, but we don't.

I appreciate not everybody can pay more, and that is the point of the deal for many, but it is there to be solved if we can either convince people to come and pay the money to see the game.

OK after hearing all the pros & cons,i have decided i trust M Carter. Call a meeting of potential investers.i am prepared to invest £1000. so all we need is 399 more. if the target i not met.say 200 take up the option=£200000 a shotfall of £200000 ask again this time for £500.if not met next call £125. and so on. If anyone is prepared to invest more i am sure they will be welcomed.
BRING IT ON.

Like you clan I've seen our u16s go undefeated against teams in the bottom half of the league not disputing they've looked impressive but the best team they beat Warrington had almost 50 points put passed them by Leeds and hull and over 50 points against them by Wigan and saints ,what I'm saying is don't let's get exited yet, oh and after many years dealing with youth rugby the big for u14s doesn't mean a lot for how they l go on in later years but I'll admit the talented bit does

Like Joe Banjo, I would also be willing to invest (maybe not the £1000) but for a club which has been part of my life since 1960, it would be worth it. Co-ordination required though.

Count me in.
I'll ask the wife how much?
Then triple it.

Which is why I included it!

The U16s can only beat what's put in front of them but I'm not only basing my opinion on matches but quality overall

What I'm saying is the u18s that won the title a few seasons back beat all the teams in the league including the runners up Wigan 3times ,not many came through to make the grade hence my view not to get exited yet claims that these could be the best academy team we've had for years is in my opinion a bit presumtious,and every body knows talent is an important thing, but when boys become men other things become even more important and you should know that

I could be interested in a scheme like this, although I would need certain assurances and it would have to be in the form of a share issue.

Having now gone through the press release and got a more detailed update 2 things stand out to me.

1. Looks like even after selling Smith we are £400K short !

2. I would happily put some money in, however an handshake from AG is worrying. He could change his mind in 6 months/ 12 months or whenever. If he calls in his loan we could be sunk again.

may be all these things could be sorted at a meeting with MC.

1. I heard it the other way - the interviewer said "is the 400k AFTER the sale of Smith," and Carter replied, "No."

2. He said he also had a letter from AG giving an undertaking that he wouldn't pull his money out.

Whats the supporters trusts view on investing ?

You better listen again then, he answered yes to that question!
