red devil Wrote: There are two specific ways to join the trust. You can become a member which gives you the right to vote for a nominal annual fee, a fiver I think. However, if you contributed to the share issue, which was a ?1k buy in then you automatically become a member. There was some confusion around what happened to syndicate share members of which there were many and I am not sure what the outcome of this was. There was also over ?30k in shares raised by random "what odour can afford donations" organised by a couple of fans. Raised over ?2.5m in just over 4 months. Pretty good work for one of England's poorest cities. They're all nutcases down there though and put the football club before their own food! ------------------------------------------------------- > ratty Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > red devil Wrote: > > > -------------------------------------------------- > > > ----- > > > ratty, how does the heirarchy work in a > > > supporter's owned club?
