Arsenal Shares
Arsenal Shares
In a nutshell turns out my Great Grandad (who lived at Yerbury Road , Holloway) had a number of Arsenal shares and a company have tracked us down (Grafton) and informed us . Don't know many other details yet but hey a good start to a Saturday , thank fuck they werent Tottenham. The old boy died maybe 60 years ago and moved to North London in 1910. I think they originally lived on the road near The Auld Triangle Pub and watched the ground being built at about that time.
Re: Arsenal Shares
You lucky sod - I think they were last trading around £20k EACH. Don't sell them to Kroenke please!!.

Nice story mate and good luck to you.

Re: Arsenal Shares
The best half a crown your great grandad ever spent
Great story and it must put your family close to being the longest holding shareholders in AFC history![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Arsenal Shares
PMSL to be honest with you there are two families getting some each but i don't know much more although i suspect my old mum does . Poor old Dad is fucked and on a different planet but they will go to him.
I just think it is a good story. All these years i trotted out the line that i supported The Arsenal because my Grandad came from there and it was my great grandad too . I am 50 and have supported AFC since 1970.
I have a silver reg and refuse to use it again until Wenger leaves !
What would he make of it ? God knows , we never thought 25 years ago that footy would be like this.
Longest share holder , well i might see if we can extend that as such !

Re: Arsenal Shares
tell the old man to sell them to usmanov, it would be national news i'd imagine seeing as they haven't traded for a couple of months

It is , we will rise as one an overthrow them all
Wouldn't it be nice if there had been enough to make a difference and to meet Kroenke and to tell him and his american sons that they are a bunch of *word censored* and 'come on then' . Should really grow up !![barscarf :barscarf:](./images/smilies/icon_barscarf.gif)

Re: Arsenal Shares
Do you know how many shares your great grandad owned. Great post and yeah I agree do not sell them to Kroenke.

Re: Arsenal Shares
Shu, maybe as a kind of protest, you should just give those shares to me. That would teach Arsene and Wiggy Racoon Head a lesson.
