Thanks, all. Numbers are building nicely. If you can help create further momentum by spreading the word to fans not so engaged on social media - really appreciated.
If you're already a CAST member, do sign up if you're committed / willing to step up in case we have to make plans for ownership. It all helps the cause. We will keep members informed in any case.
I'm in but I'm not quite clear what I'm in for. The example of 23,000 Pompey fans raising £2.3m seems to me like a fraction of the amount needed to get this club back on its feet. I'm not trying to be negative, but I would like to know more about what the goal is.
2,300 fans raised £2.3M, not 23,000, the earlier poster said.
‘ Having repaid approximately £7 million to the club’s creditors and clearing the club’s debts two years ahead of schedule the PST showed the true power of a correctly executed fan-ownership model and it was these achievements which garnered the attention of former Walt Disney chief Executive Michael Eisner and his Tornate investment group.‘

As only happens to me it seems I cannot sign up with 'Captcha' although in principle I am 'IN'
The system changes my email address! com becomes con (appropriate in the circumstances I know) but when I correct it to com it changes the first letter of my email address. Technological problems are not good for my mental health so I have walked away from trying anymore as it has become stressful and frustrating.
I am a Trust Member so the Trust has my details anyway.

Hi @LenGlover Initially I thought I was having the same issue as you with my email address, but the problem is that the box is not quite wide enough to display it all at once- so either the second loop of the final "m" can't be seen (making it look like an "n"), or the first letter is similarly truncated. So just type it in correctly, answer the Captcha question, and send - you'll know it was right when, like me, you get an update email welcoming you!
Do sign up even if you are a CAST member like me - they are sending out other relevant info to those who do sign up.

Thank you.
I did as you suggested and it appears to have worked so I am 'IN' properly now.
I have forwarded the link to others who will join too I hope.
Joined the trust last night and signed up for this too. Not sure how much I can contribute from Spain (or even if I was back in Erith where I started life) but it's time to stand together.
If it is a clean as a whistle situation, and would help the long term future of the club (not short term paying of the bills, although that might be part of it) I pledge a sum of between one and two thousand pounds to the cause.

You would think that his email was len.glover@lenglover.com rather than leonard.glover@leonardglover.com which doesn't quite fit into the box.

I tried a dozen times and the same thing happened. Enough.
