Regardless, do you not think it’s a better use of raised funds than what they’ve been.spending it on and what they’re proposing to spend it on?

No i dont Deerey, don’t see any need to give any money to the club it’s a business not a charity,
You’re absolutely right that it’s not a charity, but you’re very wrong about it being a business. It’s run as one, because it has to be, but it’s so much more than that. It’s our football club, an emotional investment, a time investment, a hub of friendship and family; it’s continuity with personal past and connection to the future. If the last 18 months have taught supporters anything it should be that they’re more than mere customers, and the club is more than occasional entertainment that can be switched off like a TV. That’s lazy thinking.
I agree, kids parties and blah blah Unity blah will pay possible dividends in the future with people becoming lifelong fans etc – but if they’re already knocking round enough to go to a party or whatever, then they probably would anyway. Investing shares is a tangible way to support the club in the immediate sense, and to put further power into the hands of supporters – who are, as I just said, more than mere customers.

Shares to me are a gift to the club you love. I have had shares since 1981 and the club under David Wraith had an SOS campaign ‘Save our Scunthorpe’ I bought £50 worth on earnings of £25 per week as an apprentice.
I am proud of that and subsequently over many years built up a number of shares. Until this ceased under PS.
I have had another £500 worth of shares since the club takeover.
They are absolutely worthless and always will be, it’s a donation for a bit of paper.
I will tell anybody this though
They are mine, and it’s my gesture of love and support for my club. It’s my own little piece of Scunthorpe United which makes me feel good and proud. Do I expect anything in return, of course not,
I play Euromillions and dream of a winning the jackpot so I can invest more in SUFC a massive part of my life which has over time stretched every personal emotion but more often then not pleasure.
The shares owned by Trust members surely allow all fans to feel the same way whether financially blessed or not.

All good points. So you should now see the futility of the trust buying shares other than their giving money to the club.
No.

Just gone through the latest shareholders list and can’t see any held by the iron trust unless I’ve missed them (there were 52 pages)
Anyone any idea under which name they go under on that list.
Iron Trust – Shareholding 562
Anyone know what happened to the shares owned by the now defunct Official Supporters Club?

Lol awaywego, while you’re at it, spend some time on Companies House analysing Mr Dave’s many previous companies and the absence of any accounts whatsoever. Now that is an absolute joke.

Realised that reading back the thread afterwards.
The Trust shares total 562 according to SYI, I have tried finding the shareholders list but am having no joy!
Which at the time of publication (1.2.25) was 50 £20 shares.
50 * £20 = £1,000
Thousand pound… lol.
A decent electric mountain bike costs 2 to 5 times more!
