do i have to make a MOOOO ing sound when handing it over

Strictly speaking, Building Societies were not companies, they were effectively an organised group of people investing in the same place.

When they changed into Public companies they offered their members shares effectively as a golden hello.

If thats what turns you on i'm sure they would let you but its not compulsory

Close but no cigar. Building Societies are mutual organisations, "owned" by their members (Investors and borrowers), who are each deemed to own a share in the society (they used to be called share accounts). Demutualisation (flotation), means that the society becomes a company, with "proper" shares which are quoted on the stock exchange. Former members are given a share allocation to compensate them for the loss of their share in the mutual organisation.

Hull FC are already a company, hence the purchase of a service from them does not confer any rights to ownership

Is Big Dave T calling Hull fans "uneducated stupid people"?.

You didnt go to school with Paul Cooke did you Dave? lol.

F@ck off you troll

issuing shares would solve all the clubs problems. the couple of grand theyd raise would be ploughed into the signign of lockyer, the 100 people who could be bothered to buy in would have a huge impact on the running of the club due to their minuscule voting rights and subsequently north london will become a fine area to visit and live in.

more realistically a few deluded saddos would be able to go to an agm and have absolutely no power over what goes on, whilst wasting perfectly good money ina company thats going nowhere in a hurry

Think he was talking about you

Are Knocker Norton and Major Black the type of potential shareholders that worry Big Dave T?

How do you know they are not shareholders?
