Quakers shares issue

12:10pm Tuesday 21st February 2012 in Letters

I AGREE with Anne Turnbull’s letter (HAS, Feb 18) regarding the long-winded system of trying to buy shares in Darlington Football Club.

I also went through the process but was put off wondering whether Crowdcube was a legitimate site and whether I should give them my bank account details.

In fact, I was so worried about internet fraud that I rang the football club and enquired whether Crowdcube was legitimate. Having been told yes, I went ahead with the purchase.

My thoughts are what about people who would like to invest in shares but who do not use a computer? I have not read of an alternative way.

To use Anne’s words, surely a lot of people will be put off?

Linda Goldie, Shildon.
