Don't shoot me for this, but I feel that our feelings now are reminiscing from the days of Laurie Mac and Joe Waters. So, with abaited breath, why don't we start a new Operation and help us to move forward. All we need is a trusted member, admin, trust, who can start the beginning of a donation fund for the help of buying,loaning,acquiring,or even sponsoring future players. The Board have done the business, Olli is onboard, and they are all putting money in to look towards the future, so how about us? It was great times when we all donated to get Joe Waters, and I praise every one of you, including me, they were great times, so why not do it again. I don't want synical remarks to this post, I want genuine comments and hope to get this going. So if your all aboard, can some responsible person who has the knowledge to do this, set the wheels in motion. Im sure many of us are exstatic and want to do a bit, just need sounde minded people, especially those who did it last time, to back me up and help to get this going. Please treat this seriously and any assistance would be welcome.

It's okay asking for this help, I'm with you, but where do we start... midfielder, defender, striker, or even keeper?...who's out there where we'd put our hard earned money into a pot that would satisfy all the fans?...

Operation Ollie-garch - crowdfunding our way to the playing budget of a Russian billionaire.

Although going from OP’s grand total of a couple of hundred thousand to a couple of hundred million might be a bit of a stretch...

Just turn up in numbers. That will put more money into the club.

It will be interesting to see how many turn up tomorrow, over and above Sunday’s 3,600. I expect Salford to bring and equally paltry away following, so it’s a pretty fair litmus test.

I reckon somewhere in the region of 4,500.

If we did something like the operation promotion which got us £110,000 for the club,

We could have 2 extra board members from the fishy

I think this could be a start of a rebuild given the positive response from the local area to IH.
Early days but this appointment reminds me of the Ivano era and in my opinion the MT need to drive this forward and cash in I think 50k of new shares would be possible given the mood of optimism?

Surely Salford will bring significantly more than Crawley?

I can not think of many teams that will bring only 38 fans to a league game.
