TMW Ideas

Will Brooks, who occasioanlly freelances here, has come up with an cracking idea. For £35 you get to join a fund that will then buy a football club. The “owners” then get to vote on transfers, team selections, and other major club decisions.

It was picked up by the BBC, and Will put it best…

“I remember in the 1980s going to Craven Cottage when the club was broke. I looked around at the 3,000 fans who had turned up and was left thinking that if everyone chipped in we could buy the club - but then there was no way of mobilising that feeling. The internet changes all that.”

Very true - it's a great use of the internet's ability to mobilise crowds, but also to build a community around a shared interest. Join!
