You couldn't make it up ...
« on: July 15, 2010, 01:29:23 PM »
From the main site;

The BBC states that "The Forest Green Rovers supporters' trust is re-launching its scheme to try and increase the club's playing budget. Any money donated to the GRASS (Give Regularly to Assist Squad Sponsorship) fundraiser is ring-fenced and can only be spent on players' wages. 'We would be trying to work to a target of £2,000 a month', trust chairman Tim Barnard told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.


Just how appropriate is THAT acronym?

Irony at its best.

On reflection, I think it should be re-named, "Cheer Up New Teams Status".

That would be even more appropriate wouldn't it?

Why don't you try and raise £2k a month set aside solely for paying off your tax debts? FFS

I have just enquired if they are doing a fund for  Renting Houses For Players Whilst Pleading Poverty ( RHFPWPP) but they haven't got back to me yet.
