so the outline is this:

council as we know yet to approve the sale (no hint of worry on that)

they need 2300b people minimum to sign up to community share

minimum price of share is £19.69. obviously they need 1.1M so there will be a reward program for various amounts, e.g. if you put in 100b you get... - the details of what and the amounts are in progress

realise that it's frustrating not to get all the information about negotiations now, but it's a living negotiation and more information will be forthcoming soon.

couple of other things I remember.

the amount you invest still only gets you 1 community share

the trust will be under 'asset lock' rules if anything happened like becoming insolvent, i.e. the share of the county ground couldn't be flogged of for gain - however I'm sure I'm not 100% on this so wait for the trust to release proper details.

all in all a brilliant night, attended by burrows, butler, Trollope and the Don. they must have been signing autographs for over 90 minutes!

also meet Clem Montifs before briefly. Actually seems like a decent bloke. Mytton also spoke very highly of him.

Band were called "Back to Back". They did "Summer of '69". What a wonderful evening. Nostalgia and positively for the future. The right mix. Thanks to all who put this together. I hope none of you found better things to do tonight. Here's my £19.69 guys and I will be spreading the word to others.

I'm interested in the bit about the in the community shareholders appointed. I'd like to see genuine (sensible) fans appointed, not personally/under the carpet backed, or with well funded lackeys (which is what normally happens in this type of enterprise in my experience) . If that is on the table, and not just a status quo jobs for the boys board. That would go a long way in my eyes for convincing me there might be some genuine change happening.

I've probably not explained it right Sutton.

personally I wouldn't have a problem with say a James Phipps type appointed.

I didn't go but thanks for the limited heads-up.  I heard the entertainment was to be Rocking Robin and his pathetic haka.  Seems like you were spared that until today!

LLP - Limited Liability Partnership would be the ownership mechanism for the ground, ensuring that that each has a limited exposure to the others financial position.  If the club goes tits up the fans wouldn't have to cover off their debts for example.  You are only exposed by the investment you yourself have into the business.

The other aspect looks like the way the fans would ensure representation to provide input to the two who sit on the Board for the LLP.  You can't have every day to to day decision being taken to a vote of the entire membership/shareholders.
