Pssst....wanna buy a football club on the cheap?
www.myfootballclub.co.uk

This site gives regular fans the opportunity to be one of 50,000 shareholders in a football club in the UK to be named later. Cost is roughly $70/share, and you get a one share vote on ALL club decisions. It's had some nice write-ups in the UK press, it was featured on BBC Sports and they just announced that EA Sports has come on board as a supporter. There are about 36,000 fans that have already signed up, and they are getting very close to the magic 50k number.

So, forget Fantasy Sports, this is the real thing...

I signed up, along with a bunch of my mates over here in the States and I thought that some of you 'orrible lot might be interested...

Cheers!

2. As an "owner" I just wanted to give everyone the heads-up...
...the MyFootballClub team have whittled down the choice from 9 clubs to one. They are doing the due diligence right now...looking to make the buying announcement soon...

It's not too late to jump on board and play the ULTIMATE fantasy football game on earth...

Your team, YOU pick the players...all for $70/year....
