If. Town did something like this and it was genuine I would be interested.

BUT

I would not think it would be anything like 8 %. It must be a con.

BUT

IF. Town offered say 5% and all money made would go towards Hursty's budget then it could be a good thing.

Even if we only got one player in that we might not have been able to sign.

It would be worth it.

Quoted from jamesgtfc


At the last count of memberships, Dodgy Dave (allegedly) will be asking Peter Swann to accept a cut price £108k instead of the £3.5m he wants.


Those 2 appear to deserve each other. And, as ever, it's the fans who suffer.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Tifosy was created by Gianluca Vialli. I must admit I thought it was more of a crowdfunding platform (was previously used by Portsmouth and Stevenage for capital investment in the training ground and/or stands): https://www.whatinvestment.co.uk/tifosy-raises-1-mln-from-fanfunders-14352/

Given our Chairman's background I imagine he could create a bespoke platform if Town wanted to do something similar. Indeed if it was to fund something like a new training ground or replacing the Main Stand it is the sort of thing I would be happy to put into. Whether it is worth doing probably depends on whether: i) it is genuinely the lowest cost of capital available to the club; and ii) the benefit of this type of 'fan engagement' offsets the additional time and trouble of setting up and running a funding scheme like this.

The reference to 'sporting enhancements' as the purpose of the Bolton one suggests that the lions share of it will go on player wages.
