Title: Boost The Budgets
Post by: HashtagAlty on June 17, 2020, 05:05:32 PM

Interesting that Darlington and Chester have both run these campaigns recently.

Darlington have raised over 100k whilst Chester are on 44k after just a few days.

This is cash pledged over 12 months in the form of direct debits and some cash sums going.

100k gives £2500 a week over 40 weeks. Can make a huge difference at this level.

We are not planning to run a dedicated campaign to raise funds right now.  You all did us proud a couple of months ago as we raised nearly £30,000 from your donations and events.  We said then we would not be "generically" asking you for money but instead focusing on seeking investment, with wider requests for money being for specific initiatives.  We can't ask you to buy season tickets - because we don't know how many games, nor in what league, nor when we will be playing.  We can't ask for your support with the playoffs, with the cost of testing and so on because we don't know for sure if they will take place (even now - but we might by the weekend) .  We can't ask for your involvement in our ground improvements, particularly the Fan Zone because we haven't told you about it yet.  And we are not going to say "please give us some money" without there being a clear objective or purpose for the money.

The time will soon come for us to be asking for your help again, but only when we have a little more clarity over what the future holds.  And then we know that once again you will show your support and overwhelm us once more.


In the meantime, you could of course join the Patrons scheme, which you can do here:
