Only my view but any contribution would be welcome. If we end up with £10k that would help. I for one wouldn't want us to have funded One player in Particular. That could be very divisive. For every Carl Magnay there is. a signing that doesn't work out. The last thing anyone needs is a flop designated as THE player bought by fans. I would rather we contribute a little to the whole squad but ultimately that will be decided by others
I know what you mean. If we get in seven players instead of six as an example then all that needs to be said is that the fans' contributions have enabled an extra signing to be made. Personally I trust PH to spend wisely, not every player is going to work out, but he's doing this for a few years now and he knows the sort of player that will fit in with his ideas and with the crowd.

We need to raise at least £50,000 so we can get an extra player in,
If we can reach somewhere near that total then I am in,
If we only manage £10,000 what would that amount do to the budget ?
I do not want to put a damper on things,
BUT
Anything less than £50,000 would not bring us that extra player.
So we need 500 pledges,
Come on we can do it,
Mind you if someone like David Ross donated £100,000,
He would not even notice it had gone out of his bank account.
I don't really agree with that. Even if we raised 10k that would still be a massive help, even 5k. For all we know it could be that 5k that made the difference to whether we get a world class player ( Non-League Wise ) or not.

Apologies if this already suggested - don't have time to read whole thread at the moment.
Consider selling longer-term season tickets to those who can afford them: 2 year, 3 year, 5 year, even longer.
Benefit to buyer would be price 'inflation-proofed' plus - helping GTFC with cashflow available to spend now.
Benefit to club would be cash-in-hand to help with player investment now.
Edit. PS: I'm in
The disbenefit is that if the club uses that money now it won't have it in future years when people turn up with their season ticket but the money was spent in 2015-16.

Donations direct to a private company can be seen as income and may be taxable. Hope this has been considered.
Anyway I'm in but don't tell my wife.
Maybe that's where the idea of some kind of fund to buy season tickets for under-priveleged kids comes in. The money goes into a charity, the charity buys season tickets, club gets the money. Only the VAT on the tickets comes off? If it's a registered charity then it qualifies for Gift Aid and 25% gets added by the tax man, compensating for the VAT. I'm not an accountant so could well be wrong about this.

Clearly. Though I didn't think it was necessary to spell it out. The point was to suggest a way for the club to get a little more cash-in-hand 'today', to invest in players to help get us promotion this coming season, and with it the extra cash that comes along with promotion to mitigate against any future income shortfall from taking those revenues 'early'.

Has male private Barton pledged yet? . Thought as such a firm supporter of hurst and particularly John fenty he would have been at the head of the queue! Ps having had a bit of a result following vecturas excellent results and share price increase, I' m in Pps what about someone going 'dutch' with coxy and matching up his £50? Pps just tallied it up and mine is the 50 th pledge so that's 5k in a matter of days with no Facebook Twitter,club, get or trust publicity

I think it should go towards the transfer fund. Would the money go towards paying a fee for a player or would it go to getting someone on a free? Any amount of money would help. I haven't got a clue on what wages we are paying our players but a player on £800 a week would cost £41,600 for a whole season on wages. This would be just under 40k depending on when they sign.
