I've already approached the MT regarding this but due to the club being in a stronger financial position and time required to manage the fund they feel that it's nothing that they see required at this moment in time.

However; they will support/guide anyone willing to set up.

Personally I believe it's a good idea but it needs someone with a bit of time and communicate with the trust to set something up.

Thought the floodlights required replacing which JF referred to in his recent interview and I recollect this was going to be quite an expense.  Could this be considered so as any money the club does have can be spent on player salaries?

It was mentioned the overnight stays for away games cost a lot,

We could fund a few extra nights during the season,

With maybe 2 lucky fans picked out of a hat to go with the squad for one of the games to experience an away match with the club.

But Operation Promotion was the worse thing that ever happened to the club, apparently.

We actually, you know, got promoted - blast it.

In theory yes, but in reality....

Neither of the key people who worked on the OP are still on the trust board and unless anyone knows any different unlikely to come back. No expertise there to do it.

Quoted from forza ivano
what about a smaller version ,but targeted on things jolley might need? i.e. he may suggest a piece of equipment that every other club has which would help to improve performance or the club in general. that would make it  a manageable target and there would be something tangible and long lasting (a legacy if you like) at the end


A pool table?

I think the floodlights idea is excellent.

Its going to need a major financial input to put them right and we need to avoid a further loan from Fenty at all costs.

I appreciate any cash raised would probably be a drop in the ocean of the overall bill but anything we can put towards it would help and its probably the most important item at the moment

Unfortunately I don't see it catching the fans imagination like Op Promotion did (buying players is so much more exciting than rusty old floodlight pylons)

Perhaps it will take a statement that if they are not sorted we will face some sort of penalty to get the cash in (knowing GTFC they will put it off and put it off until one falls down when the pylon eventually rusts through!)
