Just wondered if anyone had seen anything on this.
There were a very few original shares around. Maybe 360 and they were expensive to buy.
They used to allow fans to get in and see the cricket for free when Yorkshire played. Once this was removed they converted to giving a free season ticket as recompense.
At one point they were exchanging hands more than 20 years ago for over £5,000.
When the club became a PLC and these shares had to be catered for there were many meetings with Mike MacDonald and Charles Green, and they settled on the arrangement that the Original shareholders would have a free seat until 2022.
I've not seen anything on this but I wondered if the club has shared a view?
These shares have now lost 1 year worth of season ticket and unlike those who buy tickets and can offset what they spent against new ones, these select few could miss out on what they were entitled for their share being exchanged effectively for x years of season ticket. They now will be at x-1 unless the club takes note and rectifies it.
