Update from the Lane.
We spending big money (for this level) and results have picked up.
However the chairman has resigned so the next few weeks could be interesting. Will Hilton be our next chairman ? Who knows. We are still a club owned by the fans at the moment !!!
Just before Christmas we’re doing free entry for all which seems very/too generous for a club who main income has always been the gate !
Well the votes are kinda in !!!!
We were not informed about the name of the investor, but they done checks and they are not ideal but are acceptable.
We were asked to vote to allow the board to issue shares etc and bring investment. In the end a vote was approved for the board to return when the members have being given more information including safe guards !!! The vote was about 30 % completely agaist and 70% wanting more info.
See what happens next !!!
Is there any positives ?
I am really worried the club will be gone in next couple of years. Talk of paying £40k fee out for a forward. That’s stupid cash. The board are giving this “investor” the red carpet but the fans seen worried. I guess it will be rail roaded through a vote on Oct 1st.
Cheers for your advice, just hope enough at the club listen.
Feels like turkey’s voting for Christmas!!
Any notes for a Matlock fan. Currently the club is owned by its fans (a season ticket give you a vote/share). The board has called a Emergency General Meeting for 2 Oct to tell us about new investor also tp chan̈ge the club to issues shares, so looks like the board want us to vote to pass the club to our mystery man !!
