    are going to be made available* at £100 per share. Would you purchase at least one at this price?

    This is your chance to influence how the club is run and support the manager in improving our league standing, aims and ambitions.

    10000 shares sold at £100 each is £1 million into the kitty.

    *Hypothetically

    anyone buying some would need to have a grudge against their own money!

    might as well put it down the nearest grate and save yourself the trip to oakwell

    It would then really be "your" club.

    Plenty more detail would be reqired but I thought it might be worth doing a quick sample. It could even be an annual subscription? I KNOW we have the season ticket...

    I'd be up for that then. I'd have as much power as Don or Barry. Someone pass me a gravy boat...

    Dunno how it works, but would the club have to be listed as a PLC rather than a LTD if they were opened up to shares?

    Fair enough.

    I'd buy a share or two, but I wouldn't want it going into a transfer kitty.

    Can I have half a share for £50 with an option on the other half if it lives up to expectation?

    Because it's an investment in the club - I'd want it used on improving things like match day experience, our academy etc, not on half a day's wage of a player.
