so who wants to go halfs?

just for my curiousity please explain why

my only dealings in ivesting money is putting cash into a bank account that ends up dissapearing each month

youre a pass holder/customer, not a shareholder/long term investor.

When you put cash into a building society the BS gives you interest on your balance, they then use the pooled investments to form the basis (to a certain extent) of their loan provision, therefore as an invester you are implicitly linked to the profitability of the organisation.

A season pass holder isn't investing, you are simply paying up front for games to attract a discount, your money is uesd as operational capital for the club.

I'm pretty sure if you gave FC a couple of thousand they could make it disappear

do i have to make a MOOOO ing sound when handing it over

Strictly speaking, Building Societies were not companies, they were effectively an organised group of people investing in the same place.

When they changed into Public companies they offered their members shares effectively as a golden hello.

If thats what turns you on i'm sure they would let you but its not compulsory

Close but no cigar. Building Societies are mutual organisations, "owned" by their members (Investors and borrowers), who are each deemed to own a share in the society (they used to be called share accounts). Demutualisation (flotation), means that the society becomes a company, with "proper" shares which are quoted on the stock exchange. Former members are given a share allocation to compensate them for the loss of their share in the mutual organisation.

Hull FC are already a company, hence the purchase of a service from them does not confer any rights to ownership

Is Big Dave T calling Hull fans "uneducated stupid people"?.

You didnt go to school with Paul Cooke did you Dave? lol.

F@ck off you troll

issuing shares would solve all the clubs problems. the couple of grand theyd raise would be ploughed into the signign of lockyer, the 100 people who could be bothered to buy in would have a huge impact on the running of the club due to their minuscule voting rights and subsequently north london will become a fine area to visit and live in.

more realistically a few deluded saddos would be able to go to an agm and have absolutely no power over what goes on, whilst wasting perfectly good money ina company thats going nowhere in a hurry

Think he was talking about you

Are Knocker Norton and Major Black the type of potential shareholders that worry Big Dave T?

How do you know they are not shareholders?

it's big Dave's consortium that worries me

Fans who are dedicated enough to buy a shareholding in the club would, i hazard a guess, make an effort to attend derby matches. Where will you both be at the Craven Park derby? Infact, will the Major be attending a derby this season?

Hudgell and co were not very welcoming though were they? Tickets go on sale on Sunday by the way!!!

I will never again line the pockets of the dark side, September will be my first derby of the year to see the mighty FC secure your doom.

And i just cant be ar$ed to go to that sh*t hole!

Are you telling me that you have never paid to get into craven park? Think carefully Major.

don't know what you mean maybe you should read it again.

Anyway once again a perfectly good threat has been de-railed by red n white interlopers,
