Re: Myfootballclub
on the face of it I can see the pluspoints behind the scheme, and also think that a club like Stanley WOULD flourish under it, however having 50,000 owners sounds like a logistical nightmare.
But can you imagine the potential of all those people wanting to buy a bit of merchandise? or at least a programme sent by mail order every game?
Or trying to get a ticket for the next match? would they become more important than season ticket holders if it came to a big cup game? Wembley play-offs final and we get 30000 tickets, then all of a sudden 50000 'owners' clamour for a ticket whilst 1500 die hards can't get anywhere near.
I suspect it would be fun for a while watching the club get a massive influx of new money, but what happens a year down the line? what happens if we start to pay massive wages that we can't afford if buy-the-club moves on?
And would the Sportsbar have to be renamed the buy-a-club, Buy-the-House Lounge?
If this move comes anywhere near us I think the OSC should be increasing members ten-fold in order to fight it.
