I'm intrigued and have pre-registered. Looks like it's a 5% interest in cash and 3% in club credit (would be useful if it can be spent on season tickets). Handy it can be done as part of ISA contribution. I assume it's safer than Chris Wright's share issue? |  | | |

Needs clarifying, it says redeemable against merchandise and "home matchday tickets". you could probably argue that one either way because a ST is not a home matchday ticket in the strictest sense
if they are included then a 20k investment would get you your loft upper ST at least until the prices go up if we are promoted but then you would have a nice bonus to cover it
of course it is an unsecured investment so it could all go to shit! |  | | |

Strangely on the same date as the new James BOND film, No Time to Die.
Coincidence? Perhaps not  |  | | |

I haven't had a chance to look at the prospectus but what needs to be remembered is that when buying something that is technically a fixed interest product you are not buying any assets within a company, instead you are buying debt. Bonds are tradeable products and the initial value of the bond can go down as well as up. So although the value of the interest offered is indeed extremely attractive compared to other cash alternatives and other fixed interest offerings that are available nowadays, (check the current yield on the UK Gilt rate for 15years), anyone considering should make sure that they fully understand what they are investing into and whether they can afford to lose capital or not and balanced against either having a bit of fun or indeed helping out the team that they love. Generally, if interest rates increase by 1%, bond values would look to fall around 10% and given where we currently are in the interest rate cycle and whether the current spike in inflation is indeed a short term blip caused as a result of the pandemic is something to be aware of. For me investment is all about using your head and not following your heart. But that's me. | |

That was Warren Farm which proved a correct call.
No hat eating was promised on this one. |  | | |

So by my reckoning an investment of £10k gets you a free oap season ticket for 5 years,plus £2.5k interest and a 25% bonus if we get promoted,which would pay another £2.5k.
Not bad if you have the money spare. |  | | |

"COULD get you..........."
Don't invest with money you need for something else would seem common sense advice. | | | |

Hoos says 500 people have already 'subscribed' to the Bond which is pretty encouraging. | | | |

I was puzzled by that - assume he means 'registered an interest' - not possible to have actually paid any money yet is it? | | | |

Putting the rate of interest and inflation to one side for a moment, I'd like to better understand the risk to capital. If one, for example, invests £1,000, then with all things being equal will that person receive £1,000 back in 5 years time or does the value of the underlying investment fluctuate? | | | |
