Is that the 117 people who want to get correspondence from the trust or the bigger 700-odd number?

If the County Ground, Swindon is valued at £2.2 million... Sixfields should fetch £150,000!

Infrastructure shares, you own a bit of the stadium.
This is how you raise capital against an asset, apt timing with the Swindon example,shame it doesn't fit the narrative of some of the more intelligent on here  Grin
There is nothing in principal from NTFC supporters doing the same.

Ok so it's Mr. Negative here today (or perhaps Mr. Jealous) -  it's a nice community type idea but realistically it's essentially a bucket collection where instead of a "thank you", you get a piece of paper saying you own a very small part of a non tradable asset.

Also interesting that the well meaning but clearly financially naïve supporters group valued the ground at 50% less than the council's assessment - if they are that wrong on their other financial planning and take over the club, going bust would not be too far away.

Finally, thanks to the vote to make Britain poorer, there are an additional 3,500 Swindon residents who probably don't have the cash to buy a portion of the County Ground.

As a community based club, the selling of multiple seasons ticket sales to help pay for much needed ground redevelopment has to be the way forward, those investing into the clubs infrastructure will get value from frozen season tickets/corporate boxes, regardless of what division we find ourselves in.
The future shortfall will be taken up by new supporters attracted to a more professional set up.

It worked for Charlton for a while when they returned to the Valley - problem is it's essentially a pull forward and unless you get sustained better gates it only last so long.

I was tempted to once again point out the flaws in this logic but then it dawned on me that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome, so I'll leave that to you!

Please enlighten? The fact your pall Thomas can't come up with workable ideas doesn't mean the rest of us cant? #footballman  Grin Grin

Charlton Have a 30,000 capacity ground in a city saturated with football clubs,  fans are at a premium.
Unlike them we don't need to find 30k to turn up regularly, we just need an average 7000 plus locals with  500 plus visiting fans  to turn up fortnightly in order to allow our club to be sustainable and competitive  in league 1.
Please compare apples to apples to give a clear and logic view of what we could aspire to achieve.
I believe I'm being conservative in our potential support should we ever shake off the time wasters.

hi, Sixfields can currently house your dream of an average 7500 with seats to spare

Other than Swindon supporters are buying it straight from the ground owner. So they will own a percentage of the ground/land value "if" they purchase it. Which it would be fair to say should increase in value over time. Where as the Trust or whoever will be taking over a lease. So we would be buying into a diminishing asset if we bought shares. That will make a huge difference. I'm not even sure it would be legal to sell shares on a lease.

 

I have to admit, I've the same concerns. Even assuming it could be done legally, I suspect it would require major changes to the agreement the club currently holds with the freeholder. Honestly, I've yet to hear one thing that makes this takeover scenario seem like anything other than a pipe dream... unless there is a substantially wealthy fan wants to 'gift' ownership to the supporters... and even then, Mr. Moneybags better be prepared to continue propping things up every time there is an issue with cash flow.
