    World Cup Sweepstake - T'other Board.

    Bit of a worry when they can't find 32 people to put up a tenner.

    If/when they gain control of the Trust they will need to do much better.

    Sadly they don't seem to have enough backing.

    Why?

    I know. And when are they going to sell the board (as promised) now that it’s owned by the Trust?

    I can envisage the ownership of the other place changing but not by selling it, if we define 'selling' as 'getting someone else to pay money to own it'.

    I believe that it costs the owners a fee each month to keep it running, maintaining it, even paying for the web space etc. It has just the one advert and that is not from Apple, Microsoft, Coca-Cola etc.

    Thus it is certainly not a profit making venture, so it has no value. Indeed given this analysis it may be difficult to find anyone to be willing to take it off their hands for free. Ownership involves work, at least monitoring / moderating and monthly payments to keep it going.

    In complete contrast FootyMad is clearly part of a rock solid business, well supported by advertising. The least used of all the FootyMad boards has a more certain long term future than the other place.
