Club Shares?

**Woody** · 03/11/2007, 7:36 AM

Can anyone tell what's the story with buying shares in the club? Would buying some actually help the club in someway? Have any of ye bought some? I'm not some mad rogue trader or anything just want to know if I can help out by buying some.

I dont know anything about shares but if you want to actually help the club in some way, I'd suggest you sign up to the "Friends of Limerick 37" thing. Basically you give Eur22 a month, which is equivalent to the price of a share over 12months. You dont get anything in return apart form the satisfaction of doing your little bit, and theres a draw every month with a cash prize

That sounds alright. How do I go about finding out about that?

It was in the match programme for the Limerick and Shelbourne game. There was a form in the back of the programme with an account number and a sort code for the " Friends of Limerick37" bank account. I would say your best option is to call into the club shop on Davis Street and see if they have any match programmes left over. It also says, each month, 20% of the monthly contibutions will be used as the prize monet. Therefore the more people signed up for this the bigger the prize fund is every week.

From Ger Finnin's update email dated yesterday :

"Shares in the club are now available again at the same price of �250.00 per share. A shareholders meeting will be held in the Quality hotel on the 16th November 2007 at 8.30pm the meeting will select the 2 shareholders to sit on the board who hold under 100 shares"

and..

"Our Friends of Limerick 37 fund is now up and running and will provide much needed funds for the club during the off season, the basis of the fund is simple. Contributors are asked to give a minimum of 69 cents each day in the form of a monthly direct debit of �21.00, each week one contributor is selected at random and they receive 20% of the total income for that week I.E if 1000 people sign up we will collect the equivalent of �5250.00 each week and 20% of this (�1050.00) will be given to the contributor who�s name is selected at random. If you can afford 69 cent per day to keep your club in football please mail the club for a form or call to the club shop �The Super Blues Store� in Davis street Limerick"

Lets be realistic here. 1000 people arent going to sign up. The attendance for the Shelbourne game was just over 600 in all fairness. Ive already fill out the form and signed up though. Is anyone else doing it?

I'd say they will do well to get 100 people signed up - still thats another 2 grand a month.
I'm getting Christmas out of the way before I sign up, I really need that extra 69c a day until then

If 100 people sign up it will be an extra �1680 a month

!! Yes i know ive too much time on my hands

. Ya if they get 100 they will be lucky to be honest but hopefully it will work out its a great idea.

Is that small-shareholders meeting on tonight?
What's the story?
Anyone got anything to say on the matter?
Or are people playing their cards close to their chests in the hope of sneaking themselves onto the board where they can finally satiate their egos?
