Watford FC Invites Fans to Buy Shares for Premier League Ambitions
Watford Football Club has launched a new share offer, inviting fans to invest in the club and support its aspirations of returning to the Premier League. The “Hornets” were relegated to the Championship in the 2019/20 season after five years in the top flight. However, the club has remained ambitious and is determined to bounce back to the Premier League as soon as possible. The share offer is part of Watford’s “Raise the Standard” campaign, which aims to raise funds for investment in the club’s infrastructure, squad, and academy. The club hopes to attract significant investment from both local fans and overseas investors. The shares are being sold at £25 each, with a minimum investment of £500. There is no maximum investment limit, and shareholders will receive a proportionate share of any future profits made by the club. Watford CEO Scott Duxbury said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for fans to become part of the club’s future and help us achieve our Premier League ambitions. We have a long and proud history, and we believe that with the support of our fans, we can once again reach the highest level of English football.” The club has already received interest from potential investors and is confident of reaching its fundraising target. The share offer is open to both UK and international investors and will close on June 30, 2023. Watford has a loyal fanbase, both locally and around the world. The club’s stadium, Vicarage Road, is one of the most historic in England and has hosted some of the game’s greatest players over the years. The Hornets have a number of talented players in their squad, including Ismaila Sarr, Joao Pedro, and Keinan Davis. The club is also known for its strong academy, which has produced players such as John Barnes, Luther Blissett, and Dele Alli. With the support of its fans and investors, Watford is confident that it can build a team capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League and establishing itself as a top-flight club once again.
