Current GTFC eBay store...making a few sales every month is a complete waste of time as its £15 a month on its own to run before even listing anything.

Town are throwing away money, where there are endless possibilities of money making schemes...

A signed town shirt a few days ago sold for £104, why the hell not get 10 or more of these shirts signed, and get them sold for something like £80 each, making double on what the club shop sells them for.

Get anything around the club named after a fan to boost revenue...name the scoreboard after a fan, name the dugouts after a fan, name the gates and even the toilets after fans for a small fee! Something that will bring much needed money into the club.

There is so much more Town could be doing with this, however at the moment it is neglected!

Think of more things we could sell and things you would bid on and lets try get the club listening as thousands could be made a month from this, which could easily pay for a top players wages!

The club can't win sometimes! Anyway, I think this falls under Dave Smith's role as commercial manager. I'm guessing it's dave@gtfc.co.uk

Sponsor a toilet and name it after somebody else and then get a big sign saying "Come and excrement on John Fenty" or anybody else and charge people for the priviledge


So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday

Can  see the thinking to raise funds but not sure it's such a great idea - feels a bit amateurish and Americanised.
What would a sign declaring "You are entering the Joe Bloggs lavatory" suggest to me ?
I prefer to see stands etc named after players, managers etc.
The Upper Fenty ?  

I like the shirts idea although maybe it needs to keep an amount of novelty value - we don't want players missing training because they're signing hundreds of shirts.

As great an idea as some of these are, about a third of the players currently dont have kit sponsors, so good luck in getting someone to sponsor the scoreboard!

How much is it to sponsor a player?

Very good point.
