Saw this and found it interesting....

Not a bad idea for raising some funds for their top teams. Anyone here have any experience with how small clubs in the UK have similar "supporter owned" set-ups?

Unless that "large portion" is more than 50% it's just a scam to make money innit?

Well, I'd say "Raising operating funds" more than a scam. It becomes a scam if someone takes the funds and runs off to Mexico to spend it on non TSS related things.

I don't know the set-up of the company that owns TSS, but suspect this is a private share offering, and those that are kicking in know that their money is gone forever, or at least likely to be gone forever.

That's why I ask about other small clubs in the UK that have done the community owned thing, and if there are any on here that support such a club, what's their experience like?

I see why you ask, now. Reading about Bayern in @Regs' post, and their 50+1 rule.....seems to make sense, that if you are going to call yourself community owned, be community owned! Further makes me wonder, though, if that 51% has limitations on how much share % one community owner can retain....but really just for my interest, nothing else.

Exactly. It's not a Bayern rule. It's a German football league rule.

Sweden is the same for all sports, not just football

So the crowdfunding campaign is running at full throttle.

Briefly browsing through the documentation, they've setup a new limited corporation, assigned the L1BC License to it, and said it has acquired the intellectual property right to "TSS Rovers FC".

Then they've then valued it at $1,116,666.67

Have any TTPers ponied up to be a part of this?

I didn't see any mention of it on twatter, but I was surprised to see recently fired from his A-League coaching gig, Carl Robinson, on the board of this club.

I wonder what would happen if BB decided to buy shares too. He's probably nostalgic about the old days when he was a TSS co-owner, hidden away from the spotlight!

Too funny, I thought about that same thing. Glad it was you who went there on TTP and not me

$1,116,666.67....couldn't they have put a 69 in there??

If they had valued it at 6,669,669.69$ I may have just bought a share…. Or 69.
