I dont know to be honest. I'm sure that some of the advertising space is sold as a result of the fundraising campaign but the OASSC had a business breakfast launch for the screen where over 40 local companies were in attendance. Feedback was positive I'm led to believe.

I'll be honest, I'm not a lover of this idea, and neither was I keen on the Changing Room campaign - neither seem like Supporters Club business. But, I keep saying that unless you're willing to attend meetings and have an input (and actually help out with the ideas you put forward) then it's difficult to complain afterwards.

Whether we agree with the root source of the campaign, there is no denying that it has been a mega spectacular success. To anyone who has looked at the Tifosi site you will constantly see reminders of it wherever you go on the Internet. In terms of advertising and in your face marketing it has been huge. It has also reached out to local business in a way that (from what I can see) the club hasn't been able to. It has offered affordable advertising whereas the club offers either expensive advertising or cheapo hospitality. To the fans it has offered rarities such as signing a pro contract, get on the team picture and other such one-offs that will provide life long memories and help to cement the winners love for the club.

The OASSC think big these days, the campaign is predicted to reach its' target by virtue of £12k raised at the Sportsmans Dinner (April 29th) and £5k from a golf day. This is good money and these events should be run every single season if they can raise those sort of figures. After stepping down as Chair of the Supporters Club a few years ago, I kinda thought that it had outlived its use and was destined for the scrapper. The original purpose of the Supportes Club was to be able to pay players wages in the event of the club being unable to, there was no chance of that in this day and age - but maybe it possibly could?

Last years target was £25k, this years £40k ... where will it end and what could it fund?
