The lack of club's 'official' flogging of the bond is unbelievable. Only potential reason I can think of is financial regs preventing the club from 'officially' promoting it.

Just popping in but I did ask and, as I understand it, the OS can't advertise the Bond - something to do with financial regulation and selling that I don't understand. Much clevererer people than me are working on getting the story out there, though. In the meantime, keep spreading the word - we're just shy of £600k. bloody fantastic start, everyone.

It’s disgusting even before you consider we’ve still heard not a single word of actual detail on the investors.

The lack of official support for the Bond through the website/twitter etc etc will cost us millions I’m afraid.

It's unbelievable. You wouldn't think we're in such a desperate situation given how little we've marketed it. I've not exactly got money to gamble away - however if it means keeping the club alive then I don't see what option I have other than to invest, and at least then I know I've done what I can - but the club's cba approach is giving me some element of doubt.

MAD I did not see that. Kinda glad as I told Ivor I'd lay off him for a while and that could have caused me angst :-)

Can everyone stop negging on the OS please? There is a meeting scheduled for March where the proposed agenda includes "We've got a website???" and part of that discussion will be to instigate a heavy leafleting campaign to promote the destruction of the website because it's only social media isn't it.

True Spit, easy video to make from the sick bay

Are you feeling okay Surrey Bob?!?!?!

They should of got a couple of players Nightingale,wordsworth to put promotional video out of the Bond and getting" Don's done NPL"

It does defy belief that there is no mention of the Bond on the front page of the OS.

Treebs I must admit I often wonder that when people resign on points of principle. I guess if you feel like you've given it everything you can to try and change things or just have that facepalm realisation that you're pushing water up hill and are powerless to make a difference then it's ok to make way and see if someone else can have an impact.

Talking of Bert, Berts crisps are bloody marvellous. White bloomer, pungent cheddar, cherry tomatoes, with Berts ready salted. Sets you up nicely for a few ales.

Or maybe I was a flouncing coward while others decided to lobby for what they believe in from within until all hope was lost. 🤔 Obi-Wan was right: lots of things in life depend on your point of view.

WOW, I missed the Bert Dale Show this morning.

Of course, Davis and Leek should resign a.s.a.p and any of the others who had a hand in this clusterfuck should also go whether or not they supported what Davis and Leek were doing. They should have had the balls to resign - Trebor showed the way. Lame statements made at the SGM suggested opposition but they still stayed on.

Hash - only £1.5m? Unusually pessimistic!! Is the bet a pint? I will go for £2.2m. Hoping for a lot more.

Bond just about to reach £600k - only launched on about Thursday wasn’t it? Not bad for 3 working days so far.....

And it’s not really hindsight for people to say something they said at the time or would have said had anyone asked them.

Happy birthday Pete, whatever you are doing

And as I believe Trebor has pointed out a few times, seedrs originally was meant to be money for frills and extras so it and the bond wouldn’t have (initially) been in competition.

OI don’t think it’s a case of other way around or not doing seedrs, more a case of offering the options because seedrs alone wasn’t going to get money from the cautious but willing to invest.

It’s astounding really as all other urinal-naming investment funds are flying at the moment.

Don't need hindsight to see Seedrs wasn't going to raise the required funds.
