Anyone know how this is actually going to be set up. It's something is like to do but there's great ideas sometimes only stay as ideas and it's a shame.  Hopefully the trust can find a way of assuring the fans and pledgers that the funds donated can only go to the team / player / contract budget and nothing else and offer an easy way "paypal" or whatever to pay online. Let's get it done whilst the feel good factor is extremely high! Utm!

I'd be in. Hopefully The Trust will come up with some sort of website to donate to. If not, I'm always willing to set some sort of page up to receive donations.

Again, just to re-iterate, the Trust will be putting something out in the public domain very, very soon. Hopefully we can keep the united front and positivity going!

It's definitely going to happen, we await the details from the Trust, to see exactly form it will take, but the basic idea is to allow voluntary contributions from fans to boost the playing budget. Hopefully it will include ways for online payment with the likes of Paypal and more traditional ways to contibute, but I don't know the details.

I get my 8 year bonus soon. Absolutely count me in!!


Think not of it being a bonus but compensation - it just means you've been in too long!

I mentioned on another thread about being willing to sponsor a season ticket for a junior who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to go, as well as the idea of chucking in £100 to the playing budget.

I agree that for now, it's best to keep it simple and just get those hundreds rolling in, earmarked for the playing budget.  It's a simple, transparent commitment that also allows fans to see where the money goes.  Other things can always roll out once the season's going.

Good on the Trust for getting it going.  As Barralad might say "More power to their elbow!"

The way I see it, this is £100 that in theory you shouldn't have to spend on Wembley next year if the money is used well.

I like the thought of donating what you like but a certain amount entering you into a prize draw for something. Not everybody can afford £100, but maybe some people can contribute £10, 20, 50 or however much they feel comfortable with.

Awesome. I reckon we can raise enough to genuinely make a difference! Just ordering my new shirt now too. Every penny counts.

Yes count me in too. Also it should be pointed out that anyone who wants to donate more can do so too. I'm not rich but I could be persuaded to donate £200 if it's going to the playing budget for next season. UTM

I'm in. Money to squad. Ideally some sort of community spinoff. Eager to hear Trust plan.

Like the thought it'll save on going to Wembley again. Easily cost me that and I live in greater London.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
