I'd like to hear this could work but I can't see this happening as most are still fixated with head hunting, the Bradford fiasco was a disgrace and would put anybody off doing the same

Ahhh Fordy, frank open and honest was what I thought I was getting from Glover. I am so saddened by this. I've seen some mismanagement in my 40 years as a Trinity fan but the apparent honesty fom the Glover regime seemed like a new start, though the amateurish running of the club on match days always gave me cause fo concern. I'll be back. It's in my blood but it is sickening to be the perennial sick man of the game when we can call on pretty good support and a club like Huddersfield can't really, not even in the best of times. 8000 and a bit to lift the league leaders trophy and Mr Davy to bank roll it...yes I am envious, of course. And bitter that the loyalty I and so many others have shown is so often let down by incompetents

Sorry...can't be d to trace the post...but the cheerleaders are getting paid a significant sum? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GIVE UP. NOW I AM ANGRY
A FEW DAFT LASSES WAVING POM POMS WHO DONT EVEN TURN UP TILL 15 MINS IN SOME MATCHES. ARGHHHHHHH

As has been said, we don't run the club. We don't get the accounts posted to us. We don't read the bank statements. We trust the a -holes that keep turfing up at our club to run it properly and Mr I am the f ing saviour Glover and his monkey Elston were supposed to have this in hand. I won't take this riff that it's kind of our fault fo accepting cheap season tickets. It's their responsibility to get their sums ight. Also, some serious money has gone untaken in shoddy, late arriving, over priced, merchandise, running out of stock and staff on match days and it would seem, waste on drivel like young girls waving pom poms from what I've read. It is as it has always been...mis management at Wakefield. I won't be blamed for signing a deal that was offered. For a start, I can only get to about 75% home games anayway but signed up to a gold memebership BECAUSE it was cheap and made sense. So they need to make a deal that suits someone like me that lives away...or I'll pay on the gate...or is that not good enough???! To be honest I've about had enough. I'm damn angry. I will be back but only because it's in my blood, but I do not trust this guy Carter. He is part of this regime and they have ballsed up as badly as any other; worse in fact

Sorry to sound like a broken record but if the foxy bingo deal is still on, then this would be an easy way of fans helping generate funds for an extra 10 quid.

Say we have c6000 fans including walk ups, I bet less than 1000 will have signed up to the deal so far. Consequently, if the other 5000 did then that would be 250k towards the 400k target

I am willing and perhaps fortunate financially in being able to do the share thing if the ST can get the assurances required and it is an option the club will entertain, but this is one thing that every fan not already signed up could do

We will raise the issue of Foxy Bingo with them.

Having met Mr Carter he is the chalk to Mr Glovers cheese! A genuine bloke, no frills, honest and un-assuming. We are in good hands!

Your point re: Foxy Bingo is well made. I hate Bingo but signed up, spent my stake and have never been on since. So its not about whether you like Bingo at all, its about spending £10 to earn the club £50 and we need more to sign up.

We are trying to broker a share issue on the lines of 400 people acquiring £1,000 of shares and I believe MC will seriously consider this. We also have an idea that will enable those not fortunate to have £1,000 to invest to own a stake in the Club.

Michael seems a very honest and open guy and as TRB has said we are in good and I believe safe hands. He was honest enough to say the next few months are going to be particularly difficult and without investment further players will have to be sold which with 2014 being so crucial is the last thing we need.

I believe that we the supporters of this Club have a great opportunity to invest in the Club, secure its future and own a stake in it. Don't like straplines but we the supporters can save this Club and secure its long term future which with Newmarket on the horizon could be very bright indeed.

400 share blocks of £1000.00 would be a great success if sold and would fill the void, however, this would seem to be aimed at businesses rather than maybe the 50 to 100 supporters who would take this offer up.

With a "Rights Issue", making the shares number up to 1 million and increasing the control shares for Carter/Glover whoever, pro rata, would mean that smaller tranches could be purchased by supporters, i.e. £100.00 blocks.
I don't think we are in a position to exclude any financial input. This is probably last chance saloon for us and everyone's money should be welcome. If the £100.00 blocks could be purchased via the supporters trust in an allocation to them, cumulatively, this could be part of the ST involvement with the club directors.
Sorry, hope that makes sense, just trying think of ways of quick funding and avoiding player drain.

P.S. Keep the British lads, shed overseas stars next for me!

The bingo idea is fantastic, but the problem is a lot of people won't do it as your having to put your bank details online. 2 season ticket holders at work won't do it for this very reason even though I've told them time and time again that its safe.

As i have just posted on another thread i'm a pensioner but i have already ordered my grandson and mine season ticket and because of this thread have just now signed up for foxy bingo

Not a bad idea but the problem, and I'm not one to put a problem in the way of a solution, is that the Supporters Trust is truly democratic in so much as everyone who joins the Trust receives a £1 share and its constitution is "one man(or woman)/one vote". If we could offer membership of the Trust at say £25 and get 2,000 members, that's £50,000 which would enable the Trust to acquire 50 shares (or whatever it could raise) and then Supporters would own a little bit of the Club because the Trust is owned by its Members if I'm making sense.
