It's natural that people want to help out in some way, you have seen that all around the country with people helping one another. I don't see any other way of helping the club through this time so am happy to contribute.
If your favourite restaurant closes you can always find a similar one. Even if your church closed you could go to another one, but it doesn't work like that with football.
Nobody is asking for huge sums and it's completely voluntary. Just put in what you wouldnt miss. If you don't want to that's fine too.

But its the best run club in the country and they have it covered apparently...so its not going out of business is it ? How about the actual directors of the club actually put some money up for once if its needed instead of relying on JF or a fans whip round to cover any/all debt ? Back to GrimExile....members of the board dismissed OP in the way i stated, i even seem to recall another member of the board also said the money wasnt even used to buy Bogle but just went into the coffers and couldnt specifically have been ring fenced for that. Anyway, each to their own this time round.

I was due to play golf on the Hotchkin course at Woodhall Spa this Thursday which has been cancelled, i will donate the £57.50 to the club instead, putting all personal opinions to one side i want the club to survive, if Richard can raise £50,000 that will go a long way towards survival, several other clubs will not survive, i don't want Town to be one of them.

Given recent events, I simply could not support this. Good luck to Grimexile and that, those that know, know.

This is one of those divisive subjects, but here is my two penneth for what it is worth.
Before committing any money to what I'm sure is a very worthy cause, I'd like to understand where the money is going first. Is it to boost the budget? I know Darlington are doing this, and have done this successfully over the past few years or is this just free money for nothing?
I would prefer this to handed to the Trust as a Trust initiative. The final figure donated being used as a donation via the purchase of shares, something in hindsight the OP money should have been invested in this way.

I’ve got faith that the wedge I’ve put into the club this afternoon will only be used for the good of the club . Some will obviously say I’m naive but I don’t care !!

When you give to a charity of your choice I’m sure people do not expect it to be spent on one particular project, it goes into one pot and is used by the charity as they see fit.
