I appreciate Boro Boy's input on here as it keeps the debate going. I understand that it's sometimes frustrating, but alternate opinions and extra information can be useful as well.
There is no argument with having polite input, opinion and extra information. It's when it comes in a different manner that frustrates. None of us are paid staff, and this club is hardly some kind of hard nosed trading operation. Hence some of the wording and sentiment isn't welcome, especially not on a week by week or topic by topic basis! I have tried to suggest perhaps an alternative way of posting such ideas/comments but it has not been greeted favourably. It is a shame to be honest.

We're tied 4-4-1 and we need to make a decision on Monday if what is said here is correct. Have we planned a way to get a final decision on this if we're still tied and the deadline is upon us?
I initially had the poll open for 3 days, but then had to open end it due to lack of member votes. Secretary has tried to chivvy along voters but for whatever reason, be it lack of time, lack of interest in this particular topic or whatever - only 9 votes have come in. It's not conclusive as no votes go beyond 50% of membership. It was my understanding these shares were tradeable until markets closed on the 30th June, however, having just logged on to share.com it says the shares are not currently tradeable and the SHRE share record on the site has vanished. There was some detail somewhere in the documentation that the funds for the takeover were not expected for about 10 days or so, which I presumed would have been because this would give time for all trade paperwork to have been finalised etc... It would seem trading has now stopped though, so we'll be keeping the 500 shares and either getting 41p each for them or whatever the cash entitlement turns out to be after they have worked that bit out.
At the end of the day this isn't a big concern for us anyway. We always intended to move these shares on at an appropriate time and if we do get 41p each for them it will have been a very good result, as Rich rightly said, as we were looking at ~21p at one point not so long ago.
On this basis I'll end the poll.
