Why a gold card for not having something?

I kept mine...do I get platinum?

You will ultimately probably lose your share for nothing. I would never, ever have sold mine had we been run by Burnley fans, but this was an offer I wasn't ever going to turn down. The Gold Card, in effect, holds your credit from the share sale.

Aah. Good idea that.

I'll take my chances with my one share. Best £200 I spent, living so far away. It was my passport to some big matches i would not have been able to attend otherwise.

It will always be worth a pound!

That’s very negative Tony not like your usual positive posts, glass half full scenario.
Only time will tell with the share value but let’s remain positive for the future of the club which helps the whole town prosper and develope.

Not sure what you are suggesting re negativity. There has to be a reason for the owners to want these extra shares.

Correct and as money is obviously tight for transfers, I'd rather they had spent the money on new players.
