My (other-love) and my local League of Ireland team, Drogheda United, about 3-years ago were in administration and about to hit the wall when they decided to sell shares at €1,000 a pop. Now, everyone knew these shares were worthless, but I couldn't see my team go under, so i proudly have one share and I'm like 1/60 owner of the club. Although i have no real say and will never really contribute to the day-to-day running, it still feels awesome to know that I helped them and last season, we were 200/1 pre-season and the team finished 2nd and qualified for the Europa League qualifiers and we won the league cup, that was incredible and i always kinda think that might not have happened had i not bought a share.
Thats a nice story. I think its a travesty when any sports team goes under. What happened to Wimbledon was terrible.
