Will there be an opportunity for fans/supporters to buy 'new OUFC shares, or will it remain, in effect, a closed shop?

Brought up the idea of a share issue quite a few times in the past. Makes sense to me, if only we could have a pitch owners share scheme like they have at Chelsea!
I'd think there's a number similar to you @Notaswindonfan who would very much like the opportunity,if offered, to purchase a modest/small amount of shares in Oxford Utd fc.......sadly, as already mentioned in this thread , it does tend to be the major shareholders arena to the exclusion of ordinary fans n supporters. Maybe under tiger if new shares are offered It may be different. Doubtful though it is.If we were able to bye shares how much would individual fans be willing to pay, personally £10 per share. Would love to have one (cheap skate).
Like you say doubtful, but would love it as any individual fan or a collective group of fans.I'd think there's a number similar to you @Notaswindonfan who would very much like the opportunity,if offered, to purchase a modest/small amount of shares in Oxford Utd fc.......sadly, as already mentioned in this thread , it does tend to be the major shareholders arena to the exclusion of ordinary fans n supporters.

As you have ten shares ,do you feel like you are a part owner of the club , even though you can’t make any decisions.I have suggested that an amount of new shares, if issued, be made available in small amounts to Oxford United fc fans and supporters,weather the powers that be will take any notice of a very minority shareholder, (me with 10 shares), remains to be seen, albeit unlikely, we, as U's fans as always like in hope
When I say MY team I can substantiate itAs you have ten shares ,do you feel like you are a part owner of the club , even though you can’t make any decisions.

If they became available wander how much they would cost.If you look at the list of shareholders on companies house, there are quite a large number listed as deceased. Wonder if there could be some sort of trading opportunity created with the estates.
Depends on how much the owner wants to sell them for. I've not come across one for sale yet.If they became available wander how much they would cost.
The possible new shares are still undergoing ratification from current shareholders for the time beingDepends on how much the owner wants to sell them for. I've not come across one for sale yet.

yep ...coup de gras methinksInteresting if the offer needs 50% of shareholders by number (unlikely) or 50% by holding. If the latter then it's just a paper exercise as the owner has more than enough to pass it.
