Thought if you paid a fee you could attend but I must be getting confused with something else. Will have get the surveillance equipment out then....

go on then ill have 1

What is the existing share price?

Fag and a match.

They were £1.00 each - if you buy as new issue. The value after purchase will be what it is - that could be 1p - it could be £10.00.

The minimum purchase WAS £25.00.

No reply to my question - as yet!

I missed out on the original share offer because I never knew it existed. When I did know - through fans forums - it was too late. I'm not fussed how much they're worth in real terms, I'd just like to buy into the club that I've supported since I was a kid and feel that, by owning a modest share of it, I'm part of it. I don't know how many other "me's" there are out there, but any extra money coming in can't harm the club, and if it were still possible to buy in, I'd like to be part of that.

I hope it's still possible. Thanks for asking!

i missed the last share offer too and wouldnt mind a few quids worth now. bank of trinity probably as safe as most in current climes!

i suppose i asked for it.

Good post, i too would be interested in that for all the same reasons!

I would like to buy some too as others have said.

Does anybody know the ifs and hows?

I too would be interested



Could a share issue be an opportunity to get a cash flow boost ahead of any large project that may be on the horizon



will there be a debenture scheme??



sorry getting ahead of myself now. Stay Calm.

Hope it's not going to be named the "False Dawn Stadium"



Going to be a frustrating time because I'm heading back to the tropics today so difficult to keep up with developments as internet access is limited.

Just to clarify - I hope....

There was a genuine reason why the shares were not advertised as being for sale. IIRC, if you advertise shares for sale you must have a prospectus - and again, IIRC, the cost of this was quoted at £40k, which was felt more than the return they would have rec'd. Therefore whilst the shares were available for purchase, they were never strictly 'for sale'!



I beleive the the offer was closed, then re-opened, but whether it is still open - still waiting on the call-back!

That's fair enough. The comment wasn't intended as a criticism, it's just the way things were for me, and by the look of it, a few others as well. As you say, 40K for a prospectus totally negates anything the club would gain, so I fully understand the reasons for not going down that road.

£40k???? Crazy money!!

I defo be up for buying shares though if they were available!

Didn't take it as such - as you say, everyone has their own set of circumstances. Just trying to give people the full picture!

Wasn't the 'sale' of shares one of the options open for supporters to 'invest' money into the club outlined at the meeting with John Harbin shortly after the end of the 2001 season? Can't remember the others!

I am another that missed out on the original share issue and would also be very interested in buying some shares in the club if they were available.

i always thought the original share offer was made when Wakefield trinity requested that supporters put 50 quid each into the club to buy the lights as the old ones had failed a safety check and the club faced closure without this much needed funding. or im i wrong?

I would be interested too.

How is true value calculated though? Is this only known when company is sold on and valued?

Is No of shares in circulation known so that worth can be calculated?

Think its a good idea to get new money in club and get fans closer.

I would guess that its more of a token gesture by a fan to buy shares, and once purchased nobody will really be too bothered about the ongoing value of them. Presumably on this scale fans invest the money and ask for nothing in return other than the odd EGM, AGM and a feeling they have contributed to the running of the club.

That's pretty much how I see it too. Unless the shares are traded on an open market, or unless someone offers to buy them off you, then they're worth as much as they're worth to you - in some people's case, a quid each, in BIGAL's case, 1.3 million.

That's how I see it too. Don't think my shares are worth any more than the paper they're printed on. Does get you early access to info via meetings but texting and the electronic age means you only get about 5 minutes start before its spread across the world.

Hear what your all saying but you may as well make a one of cash donation to the club.

If you buy shares the normal idea is you own part of the club. If you owned a percentage and the current owners sold onto new owners for a large profit which was realised by their share percentage would you not expect a similar gain based upon the size of your holding

seems like a lot just to replace a lightbulb in the gents

Not if they had only bought the number of shares needed to take control of the club, and for as many small shareholders there may be, there's only one and two persons shares you'd need to buy to gain control.
