Subject: Newbury in that equation too! Author: Ale [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 11:08:33 GMT" In reply to: Reddings Nomad 's message, "Absolutely!!" on "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 10:57:55 GMT" Have to agree, I'm sort of frustrated with the end of season dog fight for survival, Its surely no coincidence that a more settled team has pulled the rabbit out of the hat and started performing like a team who can win games consistently.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Totally agree Author: Rick Royce [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 12:59:16 GMT" I too find the relegation playoffs anything but exciting - the disastrous prospect of possibly going down means that I can't enjoy the games because of the anxiety generated and I don't go to the away games for that reason. This year there was also the prospect of the visit to the grotty little football ground at Damson Lane with its cramped, tiny stand and generally very unpleasant spectator experience - and I speak as one who used to enjoy the ground at Sharmans Road. It seems so unfair that whilst the team coming down from the Premiership with its Golden Parachute usually boringly waltzes through the Championship winning all its games (Bristol being the only exception) the team from the Championship loses all its professional and semi professional players and has to start again from scratch in a league where all other teams are at least settled. That happened to Coventry, and I'm surprised that they have managed to do as well as they have - half way down the league at last sight. But then, I suppose Rugby never was a particularly fair game with that shaped ball and a ref who can't see all that goes on. Bit like life really! Speaking to supporters from Bedford when they came to us the other day, they seemed to think that their success is based on supporters buyng shares in the club. Would that be a way forward for us?

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Supporters can and do but shares in the club Author: Communications team [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 13:35:15 GMT" We are not familiar with the structure at Bedford but supporters certainly have been able to buy shares in Moseley and some people have done so in the past. For practical administrative reasons we think these have been in minimum batches of about £500. We are advised that the Company Secretary of the club(who is a lawyer) advised there there are statutory reporting requirements if a general offer of shares is made. This would include the production of a detailed and formal prospectus which is very expensive and would probably cost a number of times what the club would get in from issuing the shares. If anyone is interested in buying shares they could make enquiries in confidence to the club at info@moseleyrugby.co.uk and we will pass this on the relevent experts on this within the club.

I couldn't really afford to buy them when I did but, at the time I did, the survival of Moseley was paramount. Come on Mooooooooooooose. ( short Mooooooooooose ) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Shares Author: Gnasher [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 16:25:51 GMT" As £500 is beyond what most supporters can afford is this something that the MSA could do? Perhaps asking fans for a one-off donation that would be used to buy shares and/or having a bucket collection to support this? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Shares Author: MSA [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, Apr 13 2011, 20:35:36 GMT" The MSA would not be able to purchase shares, however if people were interested in a donation scheme that goes directly to the club, then this is something we may be able to look at if enough people were interested.
