fighting fund

so, the Supporters 'Trust or similar' is practically off the ground.

Have we any further offers of donations?

Big or small, cash or otherwise - we are going to need every little bit. It sounds a lot that we have an opening pledge of £250,000 BUT THIS HAS TO GO FURTHER. Once other people start to see the fund growing then they will be willing to contribute. The Stanley fans have to do it though.

As an aside, it would be good if every reader of this forum could contact their employers (especially if local) to see if there is any assistance that could be offered. This could be help with printing, rafffle prizes, posters in the window, willingness to book a table at a Sportsmans dinner (staff night out?). Anything at all. Please PM with any details even its just a willing contact.
 
We have agreed the same as last year for the OSC, but as we have just made 1 redundant, and put 4 on a three day week, that will probably be it I think, I could offer my own labour services periodically to save spending to a degree, but Im afraid that is the best I can do at the minute. Our personal funds wont allow anything, because we have used them to keep our staff in jobs for the last (very quiet) 3 months, along with other costs to enhance the business, pre credit crunch.
 
I mentioned something last week and was told we are not dealing with that Whalley bloke again, I will try a different angle next week.
 
I will subscribe £100 to support the equivalent value in new ASFC Ordinary Shares with full voting rights being issued to the new Supporters' Company.

I would expect one or more directors of the new Supporters' Company to be accepted onto the ASFC Board as part of the overall process.

Presumably the new company is to be a company limited by shares rather than by guarantee. I assume the contributors would become members of the new company and if the former contributors would I suppose get issued with shares in the new company pro rata their contributions.

My post earlier meant I will be putting my £100 in when the Supporters' Company is being issued with shares giving them a voice in the club and have got a place on the board.

I also said we should get shares in the Supporters' Company in recognition of our membership and contributions to it in lieu of the usual annually renewable membership card.

Being accused by Rob of writing gibberish I responded in the style of the master Professor Sir Stanley Unwin.

thanks fer t'translation Haggis - the tech speak was a bit o'er me head!

shares would be issued at a nominal cost i would imagine. the first post read to me as though you were asking whether you would receive shares according to the amount you put in - which would be no. one member, one vote etc

How do you pay the money Macc if you've pledged support
 
as soon as we have the company, directors and bank account up and running I'll try to get a paypal account sorted for further afielders. Failing that a cheque made out in the name of ........, or cash, postal order etc. I'll PM my address to those concerned and they can send anything to me. I'll post running totals as we go.
 
I have drafted up a few ideas for the site - could do with a nod to go ahead with a version 0.1 ie make sure I'm not doing something timmins has already done :)

crack on for me bud, im busy with work at the minute so ain't had chance to do anything, i will leave it in your capable hands,
 
What about doing a coast to coast challenge or perhaps Accrington to Torquay for next season's away fixture in a tuk-tuk?

Sponsored so it would raise money, could have a seperate competition to win prizes for the exact mileage covered and raise money with that as well?

Plan the route to cover local radio stations and other media outlets to highlight what was being undertook and for what reason, set up the sponsored part through just giving so then the more that hear about the more people can donate, could maybe even have a daily blog for people to follow the progress of the trek:)

Would take perhaps a fair bit of planning particulary in locating a tuk-tuk or something similar, but in terms of PR and raising money could be a Winner:)
 
Nice idea PR, I'm sat here with about 6 diferent ideas on sponsored events for the new fund, 1 of which involves the torquay fixture too!! just waiting for the first fundraising meeting to air the suggestions coz not sure how viable some of them are.

Keep em coming PR we're gonna need a shed load of ideas for this.
