Operation Promotion

In all honesty, after the comments in the 'off piste' interview, I don't think I could support another campaign whilst the club's major shareholder was in situ. In truth, what the fans did was show their loyalty & commitment - something that appears to have been under-estimated.

Quoted from Nutsy

Is another operation promotion a terrible idea? Didn't know a lot about the last one but it maybe a good idea to launch us and Jolley

Not for me.First time around it was a God send due to us being in the conference.Now it doesnt have the same ring due to us being a league club.

It’s got the potential to work completely different to last time.

There’s been some great ideas on this thread.

These ideas could be listed and sent to the trust for the club to give us indicative costs and priority.

Once we’ve got these figures then we can choose which one to take forward into fundraising.

However I must make it clear that the trust will not solely set up the fundraising this time and it will need a volunteer to be the main go to person with the trusts support.

Now where's that lad who did it last time?

Don't know but I'm sure someone on here knows him. That'll be the perfect starting point

The undoubted mastermind behind the original Operation Promotion was Bax. If that blueprint is repeated then you will need a very strong admin. team as the work was of frightening volume. If I'm honest I would strongly advise not going down that particular type of fundraising...

Personally I don't really think it's appropriate right now. There's an us and them mentality between the heirachy and the fans right now and it needs us all singing from the same hymn sheet. That the club considered it a pain in the arris last time puts me off for starters, though I'd love to contribute it'd feel better if the club was fan owned, we had a fair say or at least we all pulled together instead of the current dictatorship and 'Shut up' attitude.

What about Op Livvo as I don't think the club will pull through.  Contribute what you would be willing to pay to watch Livvo's testimonial and the money goes straight to him.  

Hyperthetically we did one and it raised £100k, now we're in the league could the club accept it and not infringe FFP rules.

Operation Promotion was successful because it sold a dream. Nobody dreams about fixing the shitey old floodlights.

If they want to be fixed, they should sack the ground manager and use his wage to do it given that he’s let them get to this stage.

As far as " shitey old floodlights " is concerned , without them the club can't stage matches - simple as that! It's also got nothing to do with the ground manager. Age and corrosion will always take their toll on metal structures The metal structures are old and , as far as I know , have been condemned for use after the end of this season. They were second hand when we originally got them and I do believe the existing structures date from 1960 . The club maybe eligible for a grant from the FL or FA and it is worth noting that the supporters club paid for their upgrade in 1960.
