Noticed on exeters website that their right back was last seasons fan funded signing through their 1931 fund.  The fans pay a direct debit each month which funds or part funds a players wages for the year. This player wears a certain squad number.

Ignoring what a certain individual thought- Operation promotion was incredible. We raised a ridiculous amount of cash in such a short time. I doubt this could be repeated, especially every year,  as that was some commitment by all involved in organising it.

How about the trust setting up a direct debit pay for  a player fund?

I don't have a clue how much a player earns. But I'm sure with our fan base we could raise the funds?

Exeters direct debit is quite a lot at 19 quid a month. I reckon it should be an open number. 5000 one pounds add up!

Have the trust discussed this idea before?

Good idea but it’s  one of those things that are easier to sell to potential donors if the club is owned by the fans, as Exeter City is. The present ownership model at GTFC isn’t conducive. That’s not to say it couldn’t happen but it’s less likely to catch on.

The way OpPromo was rubbished by some directors  doesn’t help either.

The shirt buying initiative (forget its name) launched over the summer has hardly taken off. Hardly seen any mention of it since June/July.


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.

Incidentally, Bury fans probably don’t realise the opportunity that they have got right now.

Everyone wants to give their money away ..... I thought we were deep in austerity?  . Just leave the club to sort it out .

Apparently not. The 'government' say they want to dish it out left, right and centre.

Incidentally, don't know why your post deserved any red-crosses, basically for asking a question.

Because all these Go Fund me things are boring everyone to death . I'm assuming these people that throw their money around like confetti either are very rich or they don't have to earn it ?

So Steve Marley can tell us to shut up if we question how it was spent?

It's a good idea, but I still feel bitter about that.

Please, I beg you, stop searching for ways to bleed more money out of the fans.

Is it too much to ask just to be able to turn up to a match, pay your ticket money, be mildly entertained and then go home?

THIS IN BUCKET LOADS  ......... it's become the done thing in the last 10 years to beg for money for things that previously were paid for anyway .... mental
