Exactly this, its not like us as fans want to know the full breakdown of the club etc but it would be nice to actually hear from AP and the club about whatever plan/route they are taking rather than be kept in the dark on the promise of things being better next time (as that's just like a broken record).

Fair enough. For me however, it wouldn't be a financially motivated transaction, more a case of a charitable donation to a cause I care about passionately. If a share offer was acceptable to the board and the opportunity for dividends tempted more to invest then it would of course be a good option. Any individual could refuse a dividend payout and leave the money in the club (or reinvest it) if they so wished.

Wouldn't be a purchase for dividend, and being honest would not expect give the state of RL as a game they would ever generate one.

It would be about owning a microscopic part of the club that has been in the blood of my family for generations; wouldn't expect any returns, voting rights, whatever. Just to be a shareholder - even a single share - would be enough.

There must be a method of contributing that's attractive to supporters and acceptable to the club. As Chris 71 says, if 3000 signed up at £10 / 20 each per month that would be a significant income stream for the club.
