Or small unrepresented shareholders. They should have sponsored a referendum based association to hold the proxies and give the small shareholders a voice. Irrespective of who owns more than 50% of the shares, Lowe and co don't. If enough are anti Lowe he could be ousted.

Now wouldn't that be something. I could sell tickets for that. All shareholders is what it said.

What I said. about 100k shifted in the last week or so I believe.

Or the 25-30% of shares not owned by either group is brought into a voting block. Then it would be interesting.

Do the maths. About 5% unissued. Lowe and co have less than 50% of the rest. If you have a list and accurate figures, stick them on here. I did have the figures but I can't place them.

I could buy 2m today if I wanted to and they were available, but I'd be bloody daft to spend that sort of money on SLH shares. I would buy some to support this initiative.

No, but he sure would be if it gets off the ground. There are at least 50% of shares not controlled by the Lowe axis. If Crouch/Corbett etc get involved, three months from now he could be in big trouble. An additional appeal could be to anti Lowe non shareholders to buy shares. If an association brought all the anti Lowe shares into a voting block it would cause the board big problems.

Then the two groups have a common purpose, if not a common method, that could move both inititiaves in the right direction.

I think if this initiative gets off the ground there will be loads of publicity from here on in.

Sure, but this doesn't look like a big meeting, just an initial toe in the water, I expect the Echo etc will report, and then things will probably move on to bigger more organised structured meetings. Or not.

We will see in due course.

SLH/LSE would have a record, I would have thought.

It must be nice to have small feet, only joking.

Thanks Ron, nice to see somebody is doing something, good luck to them.

Whatever!

Not necessarily, it's obviously only a start up meeting, I think from tonights meeting things will begin to move on. I only know what I read in the Echo. It could be it wasn't intended initially for some of the dickheads on this site, because they actually don't have time for some of the crap we get on here, and actually want to get something done.

If I was as smart as you I would put crap on here as well.

Why ask the question on here, I've just put on here what was in the Echo including the organisers email address. If your interested email him.

If he is anti Lowe he needs to be involved, this meeting is the result of a previous meeting in Wickham last week. The Echo only printed the story last night, it wasn't on their web site, but you don't know how long they sat on it. I put it on here after reading the Echo as I thought it deserved support.

Ron, I don't know anybody in the trust, I only know what I have seen, and I don't have any time for it at all. I perceived it to be an attempt by a few to set up a trust to give them influence in the club and maybe a seat on the board. I think it was a failure and is now seen as such. It really is not the appropriate vehicle to take a shareholders association forward, I like this new initiative and wish it well, it has fresh legs and deserves support.

Tonight, 7pm at the De Vere Hotel. Organiser Mike Fenner a season ticket holder/fed up shareholder, trying to start a body to represent anti Lowe shareholders, and to bring together as many shares as possible into a block to try and oust Lowe. It will of course need the larger shareholders, but it is the first time anybody has tried to bring in all the shares opposing Lowe into a cohesive block. As there is probably at least a third of the issued shares not accounted for it could be a mechanism to oust him. It's a private initiative and is open to all shareholders. If some of the larger shareholders went, it would really set the ball rolling, and surely get Lowe's attention. I am not a shareholder, but I might now buy some shares to help.

The percentage was of the votes cast not the number of shares issued. Crouch/Corbett have about 16% of the shares, about 17% of the issued shares, they didn't vote.

See where you are coming from. It started so well in August and really looked promising, then they stopped playing.

As an outsider, the trust appears to me to be a busted flush, serving no useful purpose. Good on those trying to do something, critics only ever sit on their hands, it's the safe thing to do, nothing!

Hi Bill, Happy new year, you only seem to post on the non football threads, aren't you interested any more.
