andy steel 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 The RST announce when and how many shares they have purchased, just like they did today. Why anyone requires to know how many RST members contribute to BR I fail to understand, its their business. I'm a member and do not contribute to BR, preferring to buy as an individual, just in case you are interested. As Bluedell have so eloquently stated it ain't a pissing competition Cause then we'd know where we are, rather than having to guess and hope for the best. Just cause BH is asking doesn't mean it's an invalid question. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yes, I would expect them to publicise their membership numbers in good times and bad and I also see no reason why the RST should not publicised the numbers of members of BR. Good, open governance and all that. I have congratulated both schemes for their excellent efforts and am happy to do so again. The problem, though, is that in the event they get into reporting information is that it becomes expected. If they report a fall in numbers how would that crystallise in terms of donations ? More than likely it would fall off a cliff. I don't see the benefit to that. I don't think the numbers are that relevant in all honesty - what is more relevant is a) how much has been raised and b) what those monies go towards. The number of members is a passing mention for me. in an extreme example, you could have BF with one member who contributed 10 million whilst RF have 1 million members contributing a tenner. Does it really matter that much how many members you have or is it more important to know how much has been collected ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I would quite like a running total, but it's strictly minor counties stuff in the grand scheme of things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Does it really matter about the number of members. Healthy rivalry between BF and RF is good but it shouldn't turn into a pissing competition. RF may have a lot of members now but as soon as they stop contributing then they're out so RF has a lot more scope for a fall in members than BR does, and if the EGM is successful RF could see a dramatic fall in members. Would we expect that RF publicise that, which could lead to others following suit? Let's just keep it all positive and hope that both schemes can go from strength to strength. Yes, I think it does matter how many members there are. We have bemoaned the lack of information and transparency coming from the board. Our fan controlled schemes need to be beyond reproach. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about RST buying shares not anyone else. certainly not hedge funds or secretive Far East groups. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
