Or the 3000 owners could give more. (I'm not suggesting that should happen but an extra £100 each would be a massive chunk on the budget). It's another way of looking at the same coin.

That's why, if we sign complete shite again, the club needs to be put up for sale ffs.

I honestly felt the fans could potentially influence change a lot more under private owners than we can at the moment.I don't think I've ever been as frustrated as this about the club.

With a £50k bid when Fylde turned down £200k in the summer.
What bit was on?

Not sure. Don’t think he’ll be our number 9 though. I’ve heard that he likes to play in the hole.

Why not offer 250 fans the chance to have a 5 year season ticket for say £1250 to inject 300k into the budget. Those handing over significant sums would be saving significantly over the 5 years

However, I appreciate for 4 years we’d be 250 season tickets short plus losing the difference on those discounted tickets. Is 300k+ today worth more to the club than say 450k over 5 years?

In the absence of share issues and a bloke giving us loans against land, the club needs to find ways of achieving such injections of cash.

This might be controversial to say but after Januarys fiasco id be hesitant giving this board large sums of money when you look what crap its been spent on so far.

AA, I still cant help thinking that with 5,000 fans (last average) there is an opportunity to buy the ground and also generate some budget.

Legally not sure how it would work but could it be tied to the company that rents the ground? Maybe 10,000 shares at £100 and we also seek FAW, WAG, lottery money for the balance. The other £1m.

Although £4.4m has been bandied for the museum so why not buy the ground and build the museum on the corner of a new stand. Is that a ridiculous idea?

As the stadium would be used for events then surely there could be profit to pay dividends on the £100 shares. That satisfies the what does an investor get question.

In addition a new BTB but with no return on investment.

I would like to see the WST think about something as another run at the top of the league will keep the interest up.

Appears we wasted £200,000 in January alone, add that to the money wasted on loan players we signed and hardly ever played.

None of this sounds being very Prudent to be fair.
