The actual sum of monies raised was £4, 966, 541 and roughly £750,000 more than the minimum target set when the initial offer was made. £663,741.98 was generated by qualifying shareholders, with a further £836,258.99 worth of shares taken up by clients of Seymour Pierce Ellis.
According to a statement released by the club, the board of directors, including chairman Peter de Savary, took shares to the value of £2.2m, and an additional sum of almost £1m was raised by clients of the private investment group Nash Fitzwilliam.
