They're probably less likely to vote as well I suppose. This is basically me. I can confirm I will be voting 100% in favour of the WS and sending EB's current proposal as far into the sea as is humanly possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted Thursday at 14:02 Share Posted Thursday at 14:02 If the Society votes it down it can't get 75% and fails, if it votes it through you've got 71/75%, considering that it was said on here that the vast majority of the 29% is owned by members of the Exec board that have already voted this through, the vote of your average shareholder doesn't actually matter. Unless I'm understanding something wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted Thursday at 14:08 Share Posted Thursday at 14:08 @StAndrew7 having just checked, the club have always said shareholders would be asked at the same time. So presumably this is the formal offer, in which case info will be needed Monday and your vote will definitely be counted, as will my 0.003(ish) percent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well between us we're making up 0.011% so we're definitely going to sock it to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil86 Posted Thursday at 14:24 Share Posted Thursday at 14:24 Tickets for the premier sports games are on sale now. Unsure how many we will get for Montrose, but I suspect it might be one that is on a few fans list needing ticked off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellwatcher Posted Thursday at 14:35 Share Posted Thursday at 14:35 I have one share in Motherwell FC that was issued from a conversion of preference shares that were issued many years ago - maybe decades!!! Can anybody remember when it was and what were the circumstances on which they were issued/converted? I think it was at the time of Jock Wallace but maybe not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted Thursday at 15:09 Share Posted Thursday at 15:09 The Well Society vote is all that matters, no? It has 71% of the shares, and this vote is to decide what the well society votes for as an entity. So if the WS vote ends up 51-49 to bin the bid, then it's effectively 71% of all shareholders binning the bid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - it's a binary thing with the WS - they either vote for or against with 71% of the holding. Other shareholders legally/ethically need to be asked too though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post above, numerically it is yes, but legally, ethically and because I want to say a massive "off you f**k" to them all personally, all votes count, now matter how insignificant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an anti-triskaidekaphobic he may well have chosen it himself, but it's still an unfortunate juxtaposition between the recent article where Kettlewell said he had every confidence in him as a first choice keeper, and this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted Thursday at 16:31 Share Posted Thursday at 16:31 There was a season where McCall decided to give neither Dan Twardzik nor Gunnar Nielsen the number one jersey. Sadly this symbolic act could not be translated into reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted Thursday at 17:39 Share Posted Thursday at 17:39 6 hours ago, camer0n_mcd said: #NumberPolis So that's 26 (including Wilson, Wells, L.Ross and Ferrie.) Gives us a "senior" group of 22 (including Miller) which is the number Caldwell spoke about in the interview he gave warning against Foreign investment. Bair's almost certainly away (it appears Feeley said as much last night). I got a giggle from whoever it was in the mentions of that Tweet that was "hoping for more new names" like, respectfully...we've signed 9 (NINE) new players already. It's pretty optimistic to be expecting many more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just let's the players pick and doesn't bother moving players out of numbers they already have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
