You've missed one important expenditure/issue there GF.... Flowers

Re: What can we do? : Sun Aug 04, 2013 9:40 am  

I agree with you GF. I've set out an initial vision for a Trust, and just asking for pledges not for money to be paid in to an account. I will work hard over the coming weeks and months to make this happen and if we get momentum on this then a dialogue on what we can achieve can get started.
I have lots of plans in my head, as will many others, and a good many of them will be shared by most.
The £1,000 from a thousand people is a hook and very short term. I can assure you I would not be interested in a Trust that just passively threw money down a hole, which is why the pledge page also asks if you could commit actions as well as money.
Sign up and let's see where we can take this. A £1,000 pledge is not compulsory! I see the Trust membership of around £50 a year - the higher the pledge levels though the more clout we may have in the short term.

You will need to get some leaflets printed for the Hudds game as only a small % of fans go on here. Contact Ian Ramsdale to see if he will give you a mention so you can test the water. Good luck.

Thanks poplar. The leaflet idea is a great one.

How are things going with this? We had a few offers on here but have they been backed up by pledges on the blog? At the blog, it's not clear what the total of pledges is - it might help persuade others if there was a running total.

Early days but really encouraging start. We have received pledges already - some from Oop North, and more importantly offers of support and immediate help. Forums and Twitter will only reach so far and so the plan is to leaflet at the Huddersfield game, and people have already offered to help with leafleting and printing! Not sure how well this will go, but it is heartening to see others committed to the Broncos who think a Trust could be viable. Remember the pledge form is just a pledge, not a binding commitment. go along and fill it in, or e-mail me at rllist@me.com

Fantastic. This has really cheered me up.

Might I be so bold as to say that this level of enthusiasm isn't obvious from the Wordpress blog? Is there some way that you can keep a tally of the number of pledges and the amount pledged? It helps on two levels, I think. First, so that visitors to the site can see that the Trust potentially has legs and is worth supporting - if visitors don't see numbers, they may consider the blog inactive. And second, it makes for a nice tweet when certain milestones are met.

Good point, I just didn't want to start doing that with the initial trickle. I'll see what I can do!

This is frustrating in that there is a lot of goodwill and people wanting to do something but the Warder has managed to alienate all of this and turn the tap of this resource in his 3 years

There seems to only be an option of £500 / £1000 or membership only. Nothing in between?
