It really is vital that we keep pushing FSS, not just for the income but to get this shareholding secured. The longer it takes the more fragile the 'ring-fenced' shares become (loathed to use this term because they aren't really ring-fenced just FSS are preferred owners). The 26% initial target is already predicated on some share donation from current minor shareholders, indeed Kenny and Keith mentioned 21% as the expectation now. I'll be honest and say I think 26% is important, even just for symbolic reasons, as it then feels like the wider fanbase have the safeguard and coupled with the Patrons Group have over 50% ownership.
On here we are preaching to the choir slightly, I get the feeling the majority of regular posters are FSS members anyway. But we all know people who are not and we have to get them on board.
I reckon the cup income has given us a year to push the membership toward 1200+. So using fag packet maths somewhere in the region of 50 members a month which isn't far off the current build. It's going to happen but we just can't slack.
