Pretty sure anyone and everyone who bought them saw it as another way to support and help the Club ?
1995, after the near disaster that was 94-95. I was offering my 2 cents in sweary Red Final rants at the time, and when we published the 'Never Again' volume chronicling the utter **** that the season had been, it sold like Gartly's sliders at a scorching Keith Show.

Everyone who contributed got a slice of the TRF share purchase, which is, of course worth [2/3 x 3/8] x [**** all/**** all] given succeeding share conversions and ither usury stuff that I have nae interest in understanding. Some 'benefits' of being a shreholder have also been withdrawn, as I understand it. Meh.

It was a bit of a **** when some plooky youth in the club shop asked if I was a shareholder to get discount two weeks ago. I am, I said (Neil Diamond is a Red) and produced my card. He had the impidence to go and check that I was entitled to 10% discount from the merch I was purchasing. I almost went into "Listen here, laddie..." mode.
