Quoted from Caesar
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!


Well done Caesar.maybe this can encourage one or two others to ' share-a-pledge'. No reason why a group of 2,3 or 4 couldn't pledge 100 between them

I would be shocked if only pledges of £100 were sought.

Every penny counts IMO whether it is £100, or £1

This thread reminds me of The Widow’s Offfering. The amount we give is all relative.

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”


'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

I think the Trust should get a move on Chris,

The feel good factor has already left some fans,

The doom and gloom merchants are starting to return to the Fishy.

Pete - if it was that easy the Trust would click their collective fingers and do a lot of things! So much work has gone into this from a lot of people. Only a few more days to wait!

It was not a criticism Bax, I was just pointing out the feel good factor is draining away.

I wouldn't take a small minority of people as a barometer for feelgood factor. Let's see what happens in the next few days!

Surely the feel good factor is alive and well and the timing of the #operationpromotion in the next few days (?) looks good. I hope it is very successful whatever form it takes.

It may be pay day for some so dont forget this;
