But is that true ? e.g. A newly discovered Van Gogh goes on sale at £100 M , nobody bids on it at that time. Does it mean its worthless cos nobody put in a bid ? Or is it always worth £100M waiting for the right person to come in and see its true worth ? Thats probably a crap analargy but what about if you have a Faberge egg . The base value of that is what it can be melted down to as precious metal and jewels , but the actual value is far higher as a one of a kind thing . Arent football clubs a one of a kind thing ? Quote

However when the Govt loan was converted into stocks they agreed a certain % for that loan so that does give an indication at that time. I think @Tonge moor green jacket is making a similar point as me, in that the money coming in from Investors is paid into the club, whereas normally you buy shares and these are traded with no income to the business. So share price is not actually a thing in our instance. Quote

If someone does come and pay that much then that's it's worth. If they don't, then apart from insurance purposes, it's worth nowt. The person that bought it has given whatever he paid for it, but isn't getting that back until it is sold again. My lad likes collecting coins, and we've done quite a bit of research on certain 50p coins. Some are on sale on e-bay for 3 or 4 quid. Others (precisely the same) are on sale with a "price" of hundreds or even thousands. Which one do you buy? No one would pay the high price just because some someone was asking for it. Same with the club, or indeed the egg. Its worth whatever you sell it for. Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 I know Sharon had taken a stance on gambling with minimising advertising from betting firms and removal of betting kiosks etc, but I'd never heard of The Big Step who are aiming to end all gambling advertising and sponsorship in football. I'm only mentioning it as we are one of only 5 EFL/Prem clubs to join the campaign, Wimbledon are the latest; Luton, FGR, Tranmere are the other 3. There are 30 other UK clubs on board at non league, Scottish and Irish level. A pity from their perspective that Skybet are EFL sponsors till 2029. Quote

I think ( and I am not 100% sure) that the EFL hold a 'golden share' in every club and a condition of joining the league is that you have specific contractual shit you are committed too which includes deals with sponsors.

When there were only 4000 of us in the 80s, do we get ultimate priority? Just get promoted and have more grounds with decent sized away ends. Quote

In fact haven't they done that before? Memory isn't clear! Quote

Purely a decent thing to do to help fellow fans. Quote

No sorry i diverted onto price, just saying as the price is so cheap especially juniors it’s no hardship if they don’t go hence why some crowds don’t look right to the given attendance Quote
