Are tickets needed? What sort of level of individual investment is required?

Out of interest, what do you think will happen that is "fantastic", which couldn't have happened previously?

It doesn’t fall into lee powers hands
It falls into Swindon town football clubs hand
Lee power owns the football club. He is not the football club
Your question doesn’t make sense
A lot of this stuff has been gone over many times on here... however here's something PaulD wrote earlier in the thread and Trust and ground stuff is something he knows a bit about.. But if the council are looking to sell the CG, then the alternatives to the Trust are considerably less appealing - asset strippers or only ever being one forced sale away from asset strippers. If the club (or separately it's owners) had owned the CG under Diamandis or when Black threw his toys out of the pram into the grateful lap of Jed, there wouldn't be a County Ground now. And probably not a club, either. So while your misgivings are understandable, if it's going anywhere I'd far rather it went to the Trust. My original response to Flasher's question of what happens if the Trust can't find the money, is answered here. You may regard Power as benevolent, and trustworthy of ground as well as club ownership, personally I'll carry on being sceptical.

So chuck a commitment in and help the Trust ensure 50% ownership? It's 50% or nothing now a price is agreed. Given that the land is probably as low in value as it eve can be, it's likely that in a worse case scenario in the future you could cash in. Best case scenario we provide an asset for the club to use and ensure it gets investment (not going to happen unless in disrepair based on current standoff with Council and tenant), and provide new protection against asset strippers given the political environment has moved to selling off any and all assets.

I'd like to think, Mr Phipps, that if I buy a share, I can have the small patch of grass I sponsored in 1994 or sometime around then :-). I got a replica 1969 shirt as I remember, 25 years on, great timing, some might suggest " well engineered"!

Reg. A genuine question. As a gentleman who clearly has plenty of time on his hands (& that isn't a dig but based on the amount of content you have posted on here) have you offered your services to the Trust in any way, shape or form?

The Trust AGM on the 15th provides a timely opportunity for people who have misgivings to go along and raise their concerns and to seek reassurance about the necessary safeguards. If ‘prior commitments’ prevent attendance in person, then I’m sure the Trust would be happy to receive written questions beforehand so that they can be addressed on the day and recorded for posterity.
