It was mentioned at the meeting on Saturday that a meeting would be held this coming Saturday to discuss having one supporters club/organisation going forward Can Russ/whoever confirm that meeting is going ahead ? Also, can JGFC attend this meeting as he appears to have the best ideas in terms of fun...
Dear Wings fans, I cant sit here and watch one of my Kent football clubs go down the pan without doing something, so late last night I emailed the following letter to Andy Townsends agency. As of yet (11am) I havent received a reply, but fingers crossed. If you dont ask, you dont get.... I hope you can hel...
Has there been any official response from the council? If not can we get a list of questions or concerns together that we can put forward. I don't mind sending an email as I've been speaking to the deputy mayor on other non-football issues. I know they won't stump up the money but I think they should have a...
Anyone point me in the direction of who is going to be running the raffle draw? I know Patsy was put forward but she looked rather shocked .... AM I lol!
...For times like these! Turn on your speakers, watch in HD and full screen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfkm3WV80qw Thank being locked in via the snow for this.
BBC London have a weekly radio show - the non league football show at 9pm - can we get the solicitor or a representive for the club to contact the show and explain the fans loan scheme inititiave. The show is aired every Monday. If you go the BBC London website they have contact details via emai,l tweete...
If you have any DVD or VHS or clips on PC of old welling games then post up what you have.
This way we can see what is out there in the lofts etc.
I did have the reading games and loads of conference games but i think i gave them to a player when i moved to portugal.
Did anyone get a DVD of Orient, Gillingha...
The photo of George Best at Park View Road (during a Charlton testimonial) went for around £80 at the auction night. I had it mounted and framed with details of the match he played in. I've got permission from the photographer this morning to reproduce more for our fundraising. The only other copy is in...
Current stocks held in the shop are Calendars 5Pint Tankards 6Pint Glasses 25 The above figures do not include reserved goods which have not yet been picked up. It would be appreciated if those who reserved goods would pick them up from the Club Shop which will be open before and after the supporters m...
Greetings one and all As stated in another thread we will have the shop open on Sunday for at least half an hour before the coaches depart. On Saturday we will be open before and after the meeting. On Friday at the band night we will both be there and if you want anything from the shop seek us out and we will op...
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.
Id rather ask what players will tak...
As a person with strong views on this, which you can see in response to the original post on that Forum, does anyone actually recall this being suggested as an avenue out? I would also be interested in how many of you agree with the original post on there http://south.ytfc.com/south.mpl?id=247470 an...
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 ?? Why wasn't this suggested 14 weeks ago, to get the embargo lifted sooner and help on the pitch as well as off. I...
Below is a copy of an open letter from Dan Chapman of Leathes Prior, the Club's solicitors regarding loans from individual supporters. The latter part of the letter is a copy of the loan agreement which details the terms and conditions and would be signed by the lender and the solicitors on behalf of W...
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...
Just spoke to Russ about 30 mins ago and think we should set up a meeting for Saturday, not sure what the chances are of the game being on, but think it is appropriate we have a meeting to discuss: Current position Fundraising (ideas for next two weeks) Planning for worst case scenario Let's meet at 11:30...
You put an account up you say a share is £100 and multiples off accepted. If you got pledges of over 50k all in you have enough to save the club.
Whether that gets you at least 50% of the club you would have to ask the hobbins.
Banking is 24 hours now, faster payments mean sums go instantly.
Forget red t...
Immediate ideas to raise money ... 5 or 10 years season tickets - If you want one, as some have suggested (Lou, you said you and three mates ??) then please ring the club and do this on 0208 301 1196. If you are struggling to get through then please PM me and I will pass on your details to Piggy, or give you his m...
Barry just told me theres 7 inches on the pitch and prospects for play are not good at the moment, No clearing of pitch is needed today as there is more heavy snow forecast, however the pitch snow can melt quickly and has in the past and there are covers on the pitch under the snow and IF there is a chance we ca...
I'd like to suggest that all the people putting forward good idea's use the welling united appeal section of the forum.. and those that just want to sit back and moan about why they shouldnt be making suggestions, stay on this section of the forum.... its getting really difficult to see who is making su...
The club normally does the offer of buying your season ticket at Christmas to help finances and last year came up with a cracking idea to upgrade all those to the Exec lounge for the remainder of the season. Quite a few bought this and even Exec Lounge Bertie didnt look too grumpy with the increased audie...
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.
To save Welling. We need to pay of the petition in the first instance to survive. Various ways it could be done but I'm no expert on what would be the most tax efficient. 1. 10 year season tickets 2. Vice Presidents - beginning to warm to the idea if they could be granted 10 years free admission without the C...
I have had a call from Richard, regarding one or two posts on this forum regarding richards efforts. he has said if anybody wants his number to discuss they should pm me and i can give it out to you.
Ok we need money we could BEG charlton for 50k... But how about next week asking them to send their first team down or a strong squad and BEGGING their fans to turn up in a save welling match.
If they have a midweek game then play it on thursday. If we only get 100o people its 10 grand if we get 2000 or more if w...
Just a reminder (as if you need one) the Band Night tickets are available... Its the night before the BIG match at Luton.... so a great way to start the weekend, For just £4.00 you get a chance to see not 1, not 2, But 3 great Bands and support your club.... if the reasons above arent enough, you'll also have...
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? It would probably raise a few hundred and would give people who cannot attend a meeting on Saturday another chance to donate to the appeal as well...
Read alot of the views of people on here and there are some great ideas .... 13 days now though its already crepping up. Big asks i know but what about asking Luton if they will give us there half of the trophy gate or Charlton giving us there half from the replay? Also what players do we have on contract? Was...
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 the club survives, those who have contributed £50 get to decide at an inaugural meeting the aims, objecti...
Has anyone thought of this as a media for raising Welling Utds plight? ie a 'SAVE WELLING UTD' group? if you get loads of members it may give some bargaining power or at least show potential investors how loved the club is? Facebook is one of the biggest Medias in the world!
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.
If many people post then maybe the club will issue them and come up with a price.
You are probably looking at ball parks of 2k for ground and 3.5k to 4k for lo...
WIE No. 34 will be out for the Christmas & New Year fixtures & your contributions will be very gratefully received. The deadline for these is Sunday 05 December. And they really don't need to be 5 page epics. So get scribbling & send your contributions to wie_fanzine@yahoo.co.uk and man...

Im contacting Kate Bush, Bernie Ecclestone, Steve Finnan, Andy Townsend with a message asking if they can help save the club. Im not going into a long speil just we owe 109k and 57k needs to be paid within 14 days.
And that theres a hope of a supporter run/driven club ... Asking if they can donate or...
It might seem a minor matter compared with other things happening today, but bearing in mind the forecast of more snow tomorrow and the present problems with the trains, has any decision been made on whether the planned quiz night will take place tomorrow night?
