Shrimps Trust Donations

[Hodgie1978]

Nothing has changed.
We are a week into Jason saying he hopes to complete a deal in the next 14 days so you have to give him the benefit of doubt .
But as its stands we aren't in a good position are we?
Keep pushing the appeal and Save Our Shrimps.

Oh dear the donations have dried up, the last being 3 days ago!

How do we support our Club, is it by turning up and paying our gate money?

Do we go further and buy products from the shop, (some of the new products are v good this season).

Do we go to the occasional corporate, say every Tues night game?

Buying refreshments on the Berlin Wall.

Last year as a fan I paid in circ:- £395-£440

A sum I can afford, many with family’s will have paid more and it’s hard for instance say come to the games with your two kids.

It’s great the amount raised but it’s stalled, I hope the Trust don’t give up and rebrand the fundraiser especially for when the season starts. I hope the Trust look to the private sector as well as the fan based public. Can the Trust do collections and broaden it out?

Lastly people do like to know where there money is going and the Trust must make up its mind what it will do with the money whether that is on a medium to large scheme or break it up into a number of smaller projects that will help the Club and make the experience at the Club on match days better for the fans.

If you haven’t donated please donate whatever ever you can give.

Whilst I am disappointed with the donations drying up I can understand the reluctance of some to donate when they can't be sure what the money will be used for. The problem is that unless we get some really good news on a sale over the next couple of weeks the Trust cannot be expected to decide to spend it on anything other than a 'fighting fund' for problems which then lie ahead. Even if there is a sale to Sorbjot I feel we would be better off saving the money for future difficulties which, in my opinion, would arise from such a sale. If we have the news we all want I feel it would be prudent of the Truth to retain at least part of the money raised in a fund for the future.

I came across something interesting yesterday that could be an idea for us.

https://chesterfc.com/btb/

Chester FC run a "boost the budget" scheme to raise money towards their playing budget, lower attendances than us but they've already raised £86,000+

The two key things I noticed were they set people up on monthly donations and if you donate a certain amount, you qualify for a higher tier and get rewards like badges, t-shirts, match tickets etc.

Obviously theirs is going directly to the team and playing budget but I wonder if we could implement something similar to raise funds towards the SaveOurShrimps campaign?
