MPH Posted 15 January 2008 Author Posted 15 January 2008 How about a FT fundraiser or two? 1Maybe a members only lottery thingy where everyone slings in a fiver and if we get 100 entrants, the winner gets a season ticket for next season and the remaining money goes to FT?? 2. Maybe the next footy get-together everyone can do some kind of sponsorship thing as well? I don't know but there must be a few ways of raising a pound or two for the forum? 1. Good idea. 2. £5 charged to each player to play, proceeds going to FT?
The People's Hero Posted 15 January 2008 Posted 15 January 2008 Could we charge an entrance fee at the FT footy of fiver a player? Should mean that once all FT footy match expenses are met, we can chuck the rest towards the running of FT. Sounds fair.
Webbo Posted 15 January 2008 Posted 15 January 2008 I'm not sure why the running costs have to be a secret? Running a forum on open source software, on a shared open source platform should not cost very much (like 10-20 quid a month with a generous amount of bandwidth) - unless a "self hosting" solution is in place.Don't get me wrong I have no "i'm not grateful" thoughts - I'm just thinking if I knew the actual cost I would be more likely to contribute and work my contribution based on the actual cost (and the fact that probably only 5-10% max would contribute). Why do you have to complicate things?Just decide how much, if anything, you want to donate £2, £3, £5, £10 and just send it, it's not rocket science.

Hullfox Posted 15 January 2008 Posted 15 January 2008 Sorry if thats complicated, can you dress yourself? Yes. What's more is he can also decide on whether to donate to the site without knowing the far end of a fart too.
Webbo Posted 16 January 2008 Posted 16 January 2008 Sorry if thats complicated, can you dress yourself? :crylaugh: Oh, you got me there mate, I'll think twice before I cross swords with you again.

We could have a sponsored wankathon!!! Plenty of wankers here!!!!
Daggers Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 Oh, you got me there mate, I'll think twice before I cross swords with you again. I'm sure that's a euphamism...
Steven Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 We could have a sponsored wankathon!!!Plenty of wankers here!!!! I'm up for it.

Frenchfox Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 First post so be kind! Excellent site that keeps me sane when stuck listening to the French going on about Marseille all the time. Depending on the running costs of the site why not look at getting a company to sponsor it, like many other things in football. They get their logo on the site and allows a link, in return they are charged the cost and then the donations could be used for other things. One condition it cannot be Topps Tiles!
skinnydipper Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 We should ask The Aviary to sponsor the site with a 10% discount for all members

Ultra Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 We should ask The Aviary to sponsor the site with a 10% discount for all members That wouldn't be much use to most of our female members..
skinnydipper Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 That wouldn't be much use to most of our female members.. Disagree. Females welcome...... and there's a bar
Ultra Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 Disagree. Females welcome...... and there's a bar And would you care to tell us what the prices in the bar might be?..
skinnydipper Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 I'm sure you know given your knowledge of the establishment. I'd happily buy a woman in there a drink. You have to buy your own I'm afraid
AoWW Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 I'm sure you know given your knowledge of the establishment. I'd happily buy a woman in there a drink. You have to buy your own I'm afraid I'm sure Ultra only knows of the place by passing it en-route to The Fan Club.
Geo V Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 Who would be up for the Foxestalk Lottery? 100 places up for grabs, you put a fiver in and the winner gets a season ticket for next season? The rest of the money thats left goes to Foxestalk. I`ll start the ball rolling 1. Geo V
skinnydipper Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 I'm sure Ultra only knows of the place by passing it en-route to The Fan Club. Note to self ; remember to Google "The Fan Club"

The rest of the money thats left goes to Foxestalk. I`ll start the ball rolling 1. Geo V A few weeks ago any lottery offering a season ticket as a "prize " would have made a loss. My season ticket in the prawn sandwich section is just short of £500 so to make any money you'd have to rig the draw ala the BBC/GMTV phone ins "and the winner is .... Archie Finch aged 7 who wins a £78 junior season ticket...." I wonder if activities e.g Golf day , Go Karting etc would be a good way of getting people together and raising money if it's needed. Of course the down side of such a suggestion is that some poor bugger may have to organise these things and apathy may rule
Ultra Posted 17 January 2008 Posted 17 January 2008 I'm sure Ultra only knows of the place by passing it en-route to The Fan Club. Correct.. Actually, I have had a drink in there - way back when it was still the St Pat's Club.
