The loan approach seem to be the only way to raise the money for the 15th. The loan is basically people buying their season tickets in advance for many years to come, as I am not sure how else they will get their money back. So basically we are spending next years money - and the following years, now. So this...

if we beat Luton and they could play their ressies,. we get 5k and half the gate.. Now if we raise the 59k that will give us 15-20k Do we say to the players, go and beat Luton and we will defer cuts for a month or do we say look if you want to stay you have to take 33% less NOW.

Well done to the club/solicitors for suggesting this idea. However, other than this, which is little more than begging, what have the club done to raise funds themselves in the last 14 weeks ??

It has been stated that the FA/Government spent £460 million on the bid that was piss*d and shat on by FIFA.Now lets see the FA borrow Welling United ( for a small fee) the money that they need to fight off the tax man, creditors etc etc.It`s a disgrace that the FA of this country turn a blind eye while club...

After reading all the great fundraising ideas over the past 3 days (and 3 months) it's never going to be enough, not in two weeks anyway. Even if we had 500 fans stumping up £50 each or £100 it's not enough. These are realistic figures, maybe even optimistic considering Christmas, money etc. Our only op...

If the game is now on the 12th I do hope we have insisted any replay MUST be on 14th and not 15th as any revenue and prize money that might accrued from that outcome could be critical to our survival.

As we need to raise every penny possible over the next 12 days, could the Quiz Night which has had to be cancelled tonight be re-scheduled for next Thursday?

Perhaps Saturday's meeting could discuss asking every supporter to give £50 - £40 of which would go towards the appeal fund, the other £10 towards the formation of a supporters association.

If you want to buy a 10 year ticket for the ground or lounge then post your name in here. This will likely be a cash up front job and not installments.
