To be fair Bart I voted no because at this moment in time I cannot afford the outlay, I do contribute to LISA monthly though. As for other teams fans voting that is plain wrong if they had. Hope it's a success though.

Fair do ian.

Fair point. I wouldn't have been able to contribute 12 months ago with a baby on the way and the incertainty over my job with virgin trains, just circumstance for different people at different times, we all love the club the same.

Maybe able to in the future mate, the Daughters at uni at the moment and we help her out a lot, hope all goes well with the idea though.





And yes we all love this great club.

Isn't one of the thoughts that as well as the regular investor that fans like yourself could have shares purchased as a one off's as Christmas/Birthday presents etc.



Certainly better than that frigging Skydiving thingy at the Trafford Centre that I got.

Yes good point mate.

Sorry johnny but 82% of 1500 getting involved......i know....and then you woke up.

But 1500 people havnt voted on the poll. I think the forum is where you will get more people that are hard core fans willing to donate than anywhere.



This negative can't do attitude has to go.



500 people is the figure I keep working on. I think that's a realistic figure.



500 people contributing £20 PCM is £120,000



I think I'm wide awake, I think it's time a few others woke up mate.

I voted no to contributing because I would need to see who was elected to the board before I parted with any cash. Therefore I wouldn't initially join in but if I was happy and confident with those selected I might then consider it.

You said 82% of leythers. IMO a "fan owned" club in RL would not work. Remind me how many there are.Why didn't Bradford or Crusaders or Salford go down this route? Where are Rochdale who have been supporter owned for a while? They have actually gone backwards. If it goes that way, just like fans have withdrawn support now cos they don't like Trevor, then fans will withdraw support cos they don't like the elected board under fan ownership. Just because someone's opinion is different to yours doesn't make it negative.

I appreciate your comments but assuming that we don't get a White Knight to pump money into the Club then what is the alternative way forward to ensure the future of our Club?

Initially getting the budget right. This would give a point to move forward from. Playing in a competition that allows progression earned on the field and not only in the pocket. The competition bit is obviously not something the club has control of. Having fans that support the local club and not fans that won't come because x is in charge. By the way the same thing would happen with a fan supported club.



We have to be ready for when the rules change.



I have noticed that there are one or two people on here who have been against the make up of SCL ever since they took over. There belongs are nothing more than personal grudges and are of no constructive use in the business world.



If the club had the top level to aim for or even the chance of playing in the second 10 of a 20 team sl comp with p&r then I think investors (not white knight) would be easier to find.



Other than those views i have no idea. Sorry one more thing....of the inactive shareholders there are at least 2 who I would love to see return to add knowledge and enthusiasm to the fight
