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'.


Why not point it out? Some people might not have twigged it.

I knew what you was suggesting was a way to bring in cash early. But it's a dangerous strategy in my view. It's risky because promotion might not come and you've spunked all the money. Even if you win promotion you still might not get enough money the following season to compensate for the loss of the (pre-paid) season tickets, and you will probably have to pay higher wages to boot. And to cap it all the club's sold season tickets at 2015 prices when it might need to raise prices in 2016, so just when it really needs to raise more money its hands are tied.

No, mortgaging the future is a nicht nicht.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Can anyone advise me how I can invest this £100 into the club to help with transfer funds?

It's in the thread mate, the Trust will make an announcement in a day or two.

You can't, yet!

I understand the Trust and club are working on it and hopefully an announcement and details will be in public domain very soon.

MAYBE the announcement has been delayed with the club wanting to get season tkt prices out first. Best not to get all the good news out at once rather than staggering it for maximum effect??

hi ,its the intruding gas head again, watching your great impetus to help your club with great interest, not sure how it could work within the monetary restrictions tho', there is a sort of similar thing at the rovers where supporters are banging in a tenner each , this helps in the sponsorship of players across the club, i will post a link to it for your perusal  [hopefully it will work] so if you cannot make the £100 donation directly to the playing fund as in this thread, then the money you have raised may help the club in another way,,,, otherwise you can tell me to just stop intruding

Cheers LiS.

Waiting to see what comes out of the Mariners Trust's deliberations. Maybe they'll come to similar conclusions to you lot.

I think the idea to buy season tickets for kids might be the way round any restrictions on donations direct to the club as it as it'll be cash in the form of gate receipts.

Another thing around the restrictions is,


We buy £100 of shares each,

BUT

We will wait and see what the trust says.

Missed this thread as don't notice the sticky posts!

Got to agree with other fans though, the reaction to this has really made me feel a bit oddly emotionally and very proud.

Personally I am not in a great financial situation at the moment and am trying to save up so I can go to as many games as possible next season, for that reason I would like to pledge a little less, perhaps like Forza suggests go 50/50 with coxy, maybe later in the year when we have more cash we can top it up?  Anyway will wait to see what the Trust suggests but count me in for at least some money to this pledge, hope we can pull it off!
