What does this mean? Can anyone buy shares and how much are they. Will this entitle holders to votes or just symbolic?

Great to hear this - it all seems to be going well so far.

250 quid a share. On sale to everyone, entitles you to a vote at the agm

I don't see the problem with that. His money is as good as anybody's. 250 squids for one vote is fairly steep. And I presume junior, schoolboy etc have retained sufficient votes to keep control.

At the Supporters' Club meeting in the Garda Club last month, we were told that shares would cost �250 each. 100 shares would get you a seat on the board. And I think we were told that the various entities making up Soccer Limerick would between them control 40% of the shares.
So I take it that, like any other company, one share will buy you one vote at the AGM. But this is not likely to give you much input into the day-to-day running of the company, which would be overseen by the board.
However, buying shares would obviously be a good way for supporters to support their club: it would certainly be more meaningful and involving than simply handing over a small wad of cash from time to time from whatever (relatively) petty fundraising activities the Supporters' Club would undertake.

shares are being sold way too cheap!!! year ago pats sold life memberships for 1000 pounds when they were in harolds x and fcuked financially ... that now equates to about 3 years season tickets ... club is losing out big time and asked fans to hand them back, some did and some didnt ...

youd be better setting up as a members club type setup and building up a base of subscribers at say 250 yoyos a year, a five a week, price of a pint and you get to buy season ticket then for 100 yoyos as opposed to regular higher price ...

if ye got 50 fans signed up that would be 16500K a year coming in every year ...

from little seeds grow big trees ...

Cheers guys.

I won't be able to make it on Wednesday so please let us know how we can get shares and season tickets elsewhere.

Thanks,

The Voice.

FFS I am trying to make a serious point about your club structures and yiz are cracking lame jokes about toys.

If the club is going to thrive, you are going to have to get more serious about things including especially the financial structures.

What are we supposed to do, plan a protest cos the club shares aren't expensive enough? You made a point but there's nothing we can do about it, I'm willing to put my trust in those who have gotton things this far...

Give us an auld bar of blackholesun there......
