Alibi Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I remember donating a tenner a month to the trust, up to a total of £500. Where did that get us? Don't even get an emailed newsletter from the trust any more. I'd quite like my money back...

LargsTON Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes it does. That's relying on around 80-100% of our match attending support to contribute. Hearts have 8,000, around 50%. Motherwell got 1,000 when there's launched. St Mirren got 1,300. I've not even been on Pie and Bovril you melt, simple mathematics will tell you it's ambitious ^^^idiot found etc "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hej Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 ^^^idiot found etc If you think that it isn't ambitious to say that there are enough people with an interest in Morton to garner £400,000 in 24 months, you're the only idiot on the thread I'm afraid.

port-ton Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Didn't take long for the infighting to begin between the people willing to back it and the people thinking it will fail Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

EanieMeany Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Certainly willing to see how it develops, but I'm not sure it's fully convincing in its current format. At least it's there though, so even if all it does is start a discussion that leads to something else it's done something positive. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONofmemories Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 All it takes is for a few local business folk wanting to be dogooders to invest heavy sums for the overall 400k met easier. Will you be backing it, Hej. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 On a specific note, there's a few references to Crawford Rae "possibly" recommending that GC write-off the debts to them. Hasn't this already effectively been done? Also, I'm a bit wary of the whole "very real threats to the club's existence" thing. There's not really. We might be looking at lower league mediocrity, but even the most doom-laden prediction would struggle to see a situation arising where the club ceases to exist.

TheGoon Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’m intrigued to say the least. I’m glad the opportunity is there for me and others to invest in the club at least, and no bad can really come of this. It’s worth having a go and seeing where it takes us, I don’t think £400k in two years is as mental as others do. Ambitious, but not completely pie in the sky.

Hej Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm not being grumpy at all. Your failure to comprehend things even after they've been explained to you has irritated me. I haven't failed to understand anything. It's still the the exact same total amount needed from the same pool of people, regardless of who contributes what. It doesn't make it any less ambitious a figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually, it does make a difference because if it was limited to £10 a month then attracting >1500 people would be too ambitious. But, attracting a few bigger investors plus having regular fans give more than £10 a month greatly reduces the number of people needed and, therefore, increases the chance of success.
