JoeP Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Apologies if there's already a thread for this somewhere - I couldn't see one. Thought we could do pledges for the Contingency fund, like we used to for Playershare. Here's mine: £50 when Mo and AL leave. £20 when Shez walks/is sacked. £1 for every goal we score in the National League. £5 every time Owen uses the word "fiduciary" in an interview. £20 when Owen leaves.

Andy-latic Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 £1 for every goal scored in all comps and 1p for every fan taken to away games - paid monthly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 £30 a month for 10 months from the start of August to the start of May to the Contingency Fund. There's no way that I'd buy a season ticket in normal circumstances due to living at the other end of the country, but I would happily contribute the approx. cost of a season ticket to the Contingency Fund instead of the club. Also I echo the £200 to the same fund when Barry Owen severs all ties with the club (on the premise that he never comes back again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 whatever the full out of offer price of an adult season ticket in the Jimmy Frizzell is l will donate that much in dribs n drabs by Xmas. sorry its not sooner but l don't wana pledge sumat l can't back at the drop of a hat. l get its an emergency and it will be way before then, jus playin it safe. lve not said owt public before bc it needs now donations not standing orders, but seein as this is for next season l thought ld get it off my chest. l'll also have a second go around the webshop. probably buy the same things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Can’t we make this into a test of genuine pledges using our forum members as a guide to see if enough money could be raised quickly. Pledgers put any amount they would genuinely be prepared to send. I bet we could quickly see a number way over the official fund if we link it to a virtual share system with a promise to issue the shares if the fund does get used to purchase the ground. Say £100 per stadium share. I will kick it off Pidge 30 shares………..£3000 TOTAL. £3000 who is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing out the negatives as usual but right all the same. Maybe I was hoping with the club so far down and nearly out, forum members wouldn’t play stupid games and bid a million pounds. It’s time surely time to be serious for a moment? I used the word “Genuine” thinking it would encourage people to post a number they would actually be prepared to give in the right circumstances. You are right, I miss used the word as there cannot be guarantees of accuracy. Dave, have you got an idea of how to conduct an on line survey that would give us an idea if we have enough Oldham fan willing to “invest” in the club rather then donate pocket change.

I've been accused of being negative for years. I'm a realist and reality struck a long time ago. I'll leave surveys to the IT savvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus1267 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Being negative or cautious has its place and can be a useful weapon in your armoury. It can also be the total opposite, I have been the victim in the past of letting negative and cautious advice lead me to changing my mind on something when I should have just gone with my gut. Not a dig btw Dave_og Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-latic Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Think this is hard to say and agree that people are less willingly to give money for something that’s still hypothetical… think that’s probably why the fund hasn’t really taken off, 45k in the grand scheme of things is nothing. In answer to your question though if money was required to keep the club alive in an emergency situation (and knowing that we could reach the total target) - I would put £5k in.

Depends how it was paid, I'd suggest it is paid over a period of time ie. 3 or 5 years, on that sort of basis I'd commit to a similar figure, around £1000 pa would seem reasonable.

I don’t think we can think of an Oldham fan as an investor at this stage. This will never be a safe investment. We would be reliant on those doing the deal, to later issue actual shares in the assets resulting from the purchase of the ground. However, I would be more likely to donate/invest if that amount and my details were recorded with a view to doing that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I'd be curious what happens if the FLG decided they didn't like the new owners. What if crypto queen actually bought the club. Would everyone be willing to work woth him and chuck the money over to the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
