Good idea . Backing here, but no idea how to get started . Perhaps something really positive to unite fans and something to work towards.

Is it 1 million target? I think it would have to be an ongoing funding campaign over say a 5 year period with various methods of obtaining donations from different targets I.e. fans/sponsors etc.

It wouldn’t be something you could just set up and let ride. There’s need to be constant updates, initiatives, collections etc.

The full figure may not even be required if the club for example may agree to contribute £300k leaving a target of 700k to be raised from donations.

I’m sorry but this raising the cash by fans has to be the joke of the century.

For starters those capable of organising it have had enough after years of fan apathy. I’ll say it now, I challenge those taking this seriously to actually do something about it, words are cheap!

Next we’ve never raised anything close to a million pounds. I reckon if you put all the dinners, WISCA events, fanzine sales etc together for the last 20 years you wouldn’t get near to 10% of that!

Pure fantasy.. Hell we couldn’t even keep a supporters trust running!

So go on stop talking and start a fans organisation. We did it with SWAG so I’ll gladly tell you how to do it. But be prepared to lose the next ten years of your life, get abused, and end up with planks criticising you because you only won the club 12 million.

Over to you Cosmicat and co.
