Wanderlust Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 They talk about improving the training facilities, fan experience and wifi - all well and good, but until we become established in a higher league that produces more revenue I'd much rather see the money spent on improving the squad to get us there. That said, I've registered an interest to see what the small print looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could default I guess off a quick read. Amazing returns…… It must be ok. The Supporters Trust followed the BWFC email up with one of their own telling us all what a good deal it is. Although their email header, A View From The Club seems a bit ambiguous to me as it’s not from the club. Wanderers Bond Launch - View from the Club Today the club announced a new fundraising initiative when they launched the Wanderers Bond. The bond is intended to generate funding to, in the words of the club, “invest in the future of BWFC”. More details can be viewed on the club website by clicking hereand viewing the short video featuring Sharon Brittan, Nick Luckcock, Neil Hart and Ian Evatt in which they give the reasoning behind the bond issue. The bond is effectively a loan made to the club over a 5-year term, at the end of which the full amount will be repaid to the bond holder. During the 5-year period, there will be an annual interest payment of 8.5% and the possibility of a further 10% bonus if the club compete in the EFL Championship from the ‘24/’25 season. The club statement references that the funds raised will be used for both “sporting enhancements” and to “improve club infrastructure”. The bond is being administered by Tifosy, a global sports investment firm who have overseen similar bond issues at other clubs, including EFL clubs Norwich City, QPR and Peterborough United. You can pre-register now at https://www.tifosy.com/bwfc The BWFCST view the bond issue as a forward-thinking initiative which will allow supporters the opportunity of investing in the future of our club whilst further increasing the fan engagement which was recently acknowledged by the club winning the EFL Fan Engagement Award for ‘22/’23 season. The trust will now look to obtain more information on the details of the bond and will pass on any updates to members as they arise. We are conscious that there is a relatively short timescale in operation and if you have any immediate questions that you would like us to address, please email us on enquiries@bwfcst.co.uk and we will do our best to get answers as quickly as possible.

Amazing returns…… See all looks above board to me but the returns are a bit pap compared to the risk. I don’t like risky bets and wouldn’t even read it if it wasn’t Bolton. Wish it well though and hopefully climbs us up the leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 So the interest on £3k would be enough for a season ticket (kind of). Presumably if they paid up like that i.e. you got a ST every year, that would still be liable for tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a board of millionaires. Don't worry, the Trust's high net worth individuals will sort us out. If this 'investment' opportunity is so good, why aren't the current board just buying the bonds themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobyBrno Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Just found this. It was 5 years ago. I’m sure a little more digging will show if it was worth it. https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/norwich-city-announce-3-5m-canaries-bond-to-fund-academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
