Now it's already a big success it becomes infectious and people want to be a part of it - just need to keep publicising amd pushing it. Need a big splash in the GET, a piece on Humberside, Look North etc Great story for them - fans rally behind club etc. And of course, like Chris said tell friends and family about it. Phoned my Dad earlier who used to go regularly but now quite infrequently and he's put £50 in because he was so impressed with what has been achieved already.

One other thought is what about those without internet access? Any alternative ways they could contribute?

I'm thinking of auctioning my unworn, fully signed, 2006 Nike Shirt, size XXL and donating all proceeds to Op Promotion. Does anyone think it will make any money?

Edit: just seen the other thread, think I'll wait to see how much the other shirt makes to see if it will raise anything for the club.

Could we do an Operation Promotion "Tour" tee-shirt? All the league fixtures (obviously when released) on the back like you'd get at a gig, Op Promo stuff on the front. I saw some Bristol Rovers fans with one from this season at Wembley. Might shift a few of them.

I donated £1 only , am i bad person?

Wouldn't like to be the player that gets signed. Imagine that chat.. "These fans are quite literally paying your wages, so condo your best for them"...... haha no pressure then..

On a more serious note.. My knowledge of lower league footballers wages is poor.. How much is a decent player on per week at this level.. Grimsby Standard / Full time pro? So how much money raised will be needed to sign 2 players for 52 weeks for example...

Quoted from LH
When the £100 pledge page was first launched I did think that we'd surprise. I wouldn't be surprised to see us hit £50k on the crowdfunder site before the end of this month - let alone next. The Mullens might regret their decision to match us for a while but this warchest is going to serve us well.


The Mullens will match up to a total of £20,000. A fantastic act, especially after all they have done already this season!
Pledged £30 for a tee shirt and 1 years trust membership and will put in a bit more in a week or two. Amazing what this town can do when it pulls together. Proud to be a Grimberian, Proud to be a Mariner!

Oh fair enough I've misread it then. Still a brilliant sum!

Would it be possible to make some sort of corporate packages that would be attractive to pledge for companies? Even those companies abroad?
I was thinking that they would get some sort of guided tour, part history (maybe some viking history to tempt the scandinavian countries) and part football club where they will be able to meet the board  (who in turn will attempt to make them buy into the club some more while they`re there).
Just a thought!
