My Very Own Football Club

Ever wanted to own a sports team? If someone says “football” do you think “match” instead of “game?” If so, you'll want to know about a new site/org called MyFootballClub which is aiming to make football history in just 3 easy steps:

1. Get at least 50,000 members who will pay 35 pounds each (equal to $70.81 today).
2. Use the pooled money to buy an English football club
3. Have its members, who are also owners, vote on team selection, player transfers, etc.

If interested, they, or I should say we, have reached the magic 50k threshold and now are in talks with 4 different teams (nameless for now, though they are in the Division Two and Conference divisions). Overseas payments are now accepted and I paid yesterday.

I cannot wait to see what club we end up with!
