    I met one supporter who had the same investment in bonds as I had in shares. His response was he would never be a shareholder of a football club because the sport's corporate governance is so poor and heralding his easy money on the bond which will fund his season ticket for several years. Fair enough in that he completed his application form before the unexpected guillotine. He isn't less fortunate than me though in context.

    Why didn’t you invest in the bond again…? Were you dithering while others did or did you not fancy it or were you so disillusioned with your previous entanglements that it was never on the cards?

    Did it really get your goat at the time or was it only after it provided a dividend?

    In other words shareholding is a spent anachronistic gerontocracy in which any young people will be treated as second class citizens alongside any dissenters such as myself whilst the much weaker supporter engagement approach allocates power to the executive in direct contradiction of the Government and Opposition benches fan-led approach.

    “Dissenter” 😂

    Thats definitely NOT what they call you.

    I think it would be more accurate that your self interest is matched by the club’s disinterest in your perpetual bleating.

    And how can you claim to be treated as a second-class citizen when it is apparent to everyone that the club and various employees have spent an inordinate amount of time dealing with you and you alone in your one-man crusade against (one of) the club(s) you support? I wonder how many other shareholders have had that level of attention and correspondence from the club?

    Anyway, you serve a purpose, your posts are better than a few beers, a double shot of Night Nurse and twenty minutes counting sheep.

    You've really got to give up on that money !!!!

    There’s that famous Ipswich Town attitude to debt. Local businesses, charities… nahhhhh… just give up on it. 
     

    Why is this ****ing scum **** halfwit tolerated on here anyway?

    Interesting. We had been thinking of going to London the day before the play-off Final, especially if against the Binners, to avoid trouble. That will increase demand for hotels especially if half of Manchester is down there!

    Nah, the United fans can drive up from Surrey on the day.

    @essex canary you are conflating two parties with your above argument.

    Any existing shareholder (in this instance MF) is free to do whatever they want with their shares.

    Similarly, any prospective buyer is free to make offers to whoever they choose.

    This situation normally applies until the acquirer has a notifiable interest . As the Club isn’t listed on the stock exchange, but is a plc, that’s 30% before the Takeover Panel needs to be advised.

    This fact shouldn’t be ignored and, unfortunately for you, renders your above comments irrelevant, I’m afraid.

    Tempting though it is, Duncan, for us to have a whip round to buy you a wooden spoon for your birthday, all flippant thoughts aside, the reality is that if a seller wants to list their shares, to test the market, that is, of course, their prerogative. It would also be inappropriate for us to bid on any listing, not least because we would probably be open to an accusation of insider trading. 

    If you buy Essex’s shares, I sincerely promise that all you’d receive is gratitude. F

    I believe that sentence 'the benefits are personal to the subscribers and cannot be transferred' also appeared in the Bond documentation. In that context,which would undoubtedly have been experienced with 740 subscribers, its' application would have meant that no Interest or Bonus could have been paid beyond the date of death. I wonder if that was the interpretation applied? I asked the previous Company Secretary. He didn't respond. I wonder why? (or perhaps not).

    I have it on good authority that you didn’t get a response because the club think you are a pain in the **** and your incessant whining is like a perma-migraine. It was whispered that if they had their time again they’d have told you to stick your 25k right up your balloon knot.

    Well that didn’t work..

    Ffs. Let it go.

    Alive: Ticket

    Dead: No ticket

    Inheritor: No ticket. The person who had a ticket “for life” has expired. 
     

    Further Explanation (again): It wasn’t a ticket “forever”. It was for the person’s life. Sadly, he died. And so did the right to the free ticket. 🐦

    There's a seat in the blankets if it's for your mate @King Keano but make sure he he brings the £63 he owes our DS boys and girls. 

    Robbing charities. Not like it hasn’t happened before. This **** didn’t even offer 5p in the £.

    Scum by name…
