AvfcTheObsession Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Quote "This is all about people with a dream of owning a football club. To turn football on its head and take it back to the people." This weekend, an English non-league club could have new owners - more than 2,500 of them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47386953 Interesting new concept. Actually think it could work in the non league, massive revenue for a 6th or 7th tier club with thousands on board. Set to be a vote on Midlands team tomorrow for takeover.

Davkaus Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 1 minute ago, Zatman said: Im sure happened before at Ebbsfleet and think it failed badly Yeah, it's referenced in the article. What they seem to think the problem was is that the technology at the time wasn't sufficient to let every bellend with a phone have their say. It's absolute idiocy. I think I'd punt £49 their way if I was a manager about to play them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes it did fail but was over 10 years ago, no way of knowing how this will pan out. Key to whether it works is how successful the club is, relatively speaking. With a financial advantage if the club was to be on the up gain promotions then I'm sure people wouldn't lose interest with having the app at hand.

Rds1983 Posted March 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2019 The article on the French club already doing it says they were promoted last season and are top this season so I guess it could work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
