Not that i wnat to get in to a long drawn out debate on this but, n making some of my suggestions it was only becasue of the origional post

------------------------------------------------------

I know it's early, (t'was the GF only last week), but I'm wondering if there will be enough of us to participate again? TBH, we struggled to get enough participants for a while, and some people had to put in extra to beef up the pot.

Also, IF we do it again, how do we want to choose the kit we wish to sponsor? I know that there will probably be players coming and going for some time yet, but will we want to do a poll for which number we want as players are allocated squad numbers or do you have any other ideas?

Any comments and ideas?
----------------------------------------------------------

I think some of the points rasied are valid, lets keep it simple, 10 or so items to raffel under TS suggested lottery system seem the simplest idea, £5 = 1 ticket £50 = 10 tickets

to me 10 items seems a lot more than 2/3 kits for sharing the prizes out amongst the contributors

I also really like the idea of the message baord getting mentions at home games and in the program, the more members we can get on here the better thre banter and posts!

And the more people who use this board, then there will be more people contributing to the fund next time we do it.

TS just wants an easy life

He used to have a hair do like Freddie before he started doing the Forum Sponsorship a few years back.

You are quoting me out of context.

I was asking for ideas on how to choose which players' kit to sponsor as there may be more players yet to join the club.

I am willing to listen to what Mr. Fax can come up with, though. Also, I admit that I don't get what sponsoring the crowd is all about. Can this be clarified, please?

Sometimes, it seems to me, (I may be wrong), that some people seem to think that this forum is owned by a Fax fan. It isn't. It is owned and operated by RLFans.com and is moderated by four Fax fans. There is/was a subsite called FaxFans.co.uk that is/was owned by Nat, but that is now more or less defunct as no-one administers to it anymore.

I now need to lie down in a dark room as my migraine kicks into driller mode.

i think the ideas are good.
It's borne out of having more pledges than the required 175 for a kit.
I'd rather have a bit of variety than just 3 kits. I like mr fax's idea. If we can get a kit and a bit extra, something unique for our wedge, i'm all for it.

Like I said; I'm willing to listen to what Mr. Fax has to offer.

Well what we could give you is a kit sponsorship as usual, plus sponsor the crowd.

the sponsor the crowd part of it would give you a mention over the PA when the teams are named ( and as always todays 18th man is the blue and white army, sponsored by RLFAX. or soemthething like that

plus we could also give you another 5 or 6 prizes such as a signed ball, signed pictures, hoodies, replica shirt etc (these things would ultimately depend on how much you end up raising, as we would compare the costs of what each prize would cost.

this would overall give you around 10 prizes to raffle plus a weekly mention on the PA

abit of publicity, some prizes and some money for the club. this will hopefully leave everyone happy

hope this clears it up TS. as i said its all negotiable and will ultimately depend on the final figure. (the more raised the more prizes)

but most importantly, a big well done to everyone on here. the amount raised so far is excellent, and everyone at the club appreciates it.

Can't we just forget about the Sponsorship extras, get a pair of socks from the club and have a Free Bar with what's left, for the entire Grand Final Weekend

Keep it simple.

Sponsor as much kit as possible, that then gets given away at end of season via a raffle.

If the club / courier could throw a promotion of the RLFANS.com somewhere as well, as this will benefit future donations, that would be a bonus.

therefore KIT and RLFANS promotion.

Actually, with my sponsor money i hope i don't win as i will have to reveal my stunningly handsome identity.
