If I can buy £20 worth, WITHOUT having to buy the book, and they can get the certificate to me before xmas, then YES, I'm IN.

Why would any Albion fan not want the book?

Agree with you on the Christmas thing though, if he can get the certificates out by then these shares are an ideal present.

I'll borrow it from someone and read it, or maybe buy it for £5 in a few months time.

Everything interesting in it, will be dissected on here anyway.

I'll have one. I won't attend AGMs though, unless something extraordinary comes up on the agenda, like selling the stadium to developers.

I don't get what difference attending would make. If Bloom wanted to sell it he could, he has a controlling percentage.

I will, if possible, buy 100.

Shareholders with 100 or more shares can with the cooperation of 99 other 100 share holders call for a meeting with the directors.

If Knight is selling the shares out of spite to inconvenience the club, no. If it doesn't inconvenience the club in any way, yes.

I would buy some because of the warm feeling of owning a teeny weeny small part of MY football club, for no reason other than that.

I guess I'd do the same for each of my kids too.

I would prefer to buy from the club so that the money directly benefited the club, although I appreciate it would be a very small drop in what is now a very big ocean in terms of the club's present-day finances.

Won't make any difference at all, but I think it would be morally wrong not to voice my displeasure if something was proposed that I didn't like and wanted to stop - a bit (but not that much) like booing when an opposition player takes a penalty.

No. As much as Mr Dick Knight is a legend, I have to question his motives. Besides, owning one share, ten, one hundred; It's pretty much pointless, you'll have no say. You will literally just get that "warm feeling of owning a teeny weeny small part of MY football club," which I suppose is it's own reward. Not for me though.

(I really don't believe any of us will be able to buy any of Dick's shares however)

I am guessing the same - I will be very surprised if there isn't a requirement for shareholders to offer any shares for sale first to existing shareholders in line with their holding.

I may be wrong but if this is the case then I think TB will do everything possible to stop the shares from falling into the hands of fans.

But you wouldn't be buying from the club..it would be from a shareholder (say Bloom for example).. Unless they issued new shares that is.. as a way of raising capital
