Why not give free membership to anyone that wants to join and the if they want a badge charge for it, to cover costs do some money raising events and then give out membership cards at say 2 quid each, try getting something set up with the club shop and bar where you get a % discount if you show your card. Over here our little club does a lot of community events to raise its profile and the card goes a long way to funding our team. If some of the shops in town or local business's would take it as well you could end up getting a lot of members. Imagine a couple of quid off a round at the bar or a few quid off your shirt or scarf in the club shop, even 20 or 30p off your half time pie and peas, all for a 2 pound investment.
