You are in business would you go around telling everyone in your industry that you budget the least on staff because of a limited income stream.

That all needs doing and will be but I don't think the club would use it for that or sell it on that.

A share issue IMO would be sold as a way to refinance the club to allow it to expand it's core business, on field success. So the bulk would be used to fund junior recruitment and retain talent. A small amount would possibly used for off field appointments and general infrastructure.

Back to the west stand. Even to upgrade the terrace to be tidied up and put at pitch level would cost a minimum of 5 -800k, I know because I''ve costed it. To upgrade it to a level where it increases revenue in a noticeable way is more like 1 -2 million. Even then it would still be a terrace but at least one with full cover, but with only a marginal capacity increase.

The latter would be the better option in the longer term but in the short term even the basic reprofile would be beyond the clubs capabilities, even if that share scheme took off, as it would offer no return.

However I'd say watch this space. Once the community side of BV takes off I guarantee you even more councillors will get on board, they all love a good photo op. So imho council funding in the way of grants and cheap loans will be what drives the redevelopment of the rest of the stadium. However that is probably 5 - 10 years away depending on how we do.

Despite what the Pimp thinks I have no insider knowledge this is just how I see it.

TVR don't exist, only Morgan is 100% British owned. Jaguar and Land Rover although not UK owned are clearly a British based company.

As for your wife being Japanese, I'll put it bluntly, you just made that up.

If that is what I had posted yes it would be made up but if you read it again you will see I said I own a Swedish car and my wife a Japanese. I am afraid you are relying way too much on others to provide your thoughts that you are losing your independence.
You will all be glad that I am returning to my holiday, leaving you all to work out how we win on Sunday.

Great, ever thought of making it permanent.

You're losing your mind. That is what you posted. I'm pointing out that TVR are defunct and JLR are still British. I called you out as a liar regarding your wifes origins. Think yourself lucky I believe you have a wife.

I'm starting a crowd funding page for him to stay.......providing there is no WiFi.

Was thinking that this was the wrong time to be raising this sort of idea after such a heavy defeat but with hindsight it’s exactly the right time as it highlights our plight in terms of investment. Most people on here love Wakefield Trinity otherwise they wouldn’t be on here. Hopefully you can get some traction on this idea. £1k is a lot of money but when you consider how much of our time, attention and social lives Trinity takes up then for those who can afford then it’s a small price. Like many on here I had some of the old Ted shares in the club and I also knew they were worthless but they meant and still do mean the world to me.

I was there on Sunday and it was tough watching but it felt a bit like a line in the sand day. WTID

Just pointing out BV that share issues have not been very successful in the past.
I've got every faith in the honesty of MC & JM, and I'm making no insinuations whatsoever against them. Please don't try to read something into what's not there.

Sorry, but you're wrong on this one, vasty Nowhere does SP state that is wife is Japanese.

Yes. Sorry Vasty. He said her car was Japanese.

what a plonker

I’m not having a go at you Redscat..
My mate had some shares and says it wasn’t the best organised idea.
The people in charge now in my opinion are running the club in a sensible financial manor. If they were interested in an idea of shares or whatever then I would have confidence that they would use whatever funds might be raised and put some hem to good use.
