Thousands of customers with money trapped in Football Index, the self-styled ‘stock market of football’, have reacted with fury to significant changes to the site’s terms and conditions

The latest crash is the most significant to date and came after the firm gave its users 28 days’ notice of a dramatic reduction in dividend payments. Trading in shares was suspended following the announcement until Saturday morning, when the price at which most shares in the top 200 players on the index could be sold dived to 1p or 2p, with no sell price at all available for many more.
