What it says is they have reached 480K and still counting, and as has been said anything over 500K is a positve help so its understandable, the pledge is succeeding so perhaps those who held back will now contribute!

Try and do something to take your mind off it. I'll be doing this: www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/n ... _for_free/ Maybe I'll do some decorating or some gardening, you can come and help if you like!

Last nights victory will probably have given the pledge further impetus but a statement a few days ago basically saying the pledge will carry on until Monday/Tuesday would have made everyones morning a lot better.

This is all very confusing, what deadline was friday/saturday exactly? It seem this has just been moved to monday, so is this a self enforced date or court order/taxman?

And then we would have had people on here complaining that they had been lied to and goalposts moved.

Damned by those with the benefit of hindsight whatever they did. And yes, their PR has been poor throughout.

Must admit I feel a bit miffed about today's announcement. Did Mr Hood not say that, if we did not have £500,000 by today, the club would go bust? This is patently not true then, is it?

This does his PR reputation no good at all, and the sooner he is gone the better.

Just been reading the report in the link in the very first post on this thread.

Hood never actually said those words. He said we have to raise at least half by mid April.

Bennett said we could just about last another two amd a half weeks. That was on 27 March. In other words, till the salaries have to be paid later next week.

So a closing date of any date up till early next week was always practicable.

I thought they said if the pledge was reached we'd have to pay the money straight away on saturday morning.

I certainly recall it said to be payabe straight away, for sure, although I took that more to deter delay in payment. That said, middle of month is middle of month, so I would hardly expect them to allow much leeway now.

I know someone who pledged last night, so there is some method in the madness.

Great result last night guys, and I am glad that you will reach the target set by men that 'run' the club. There does seem however to be endless questions coming out of this situation. A massive effort from a heck a lot of people to get the money in but do you not all feel a tad 'hood' winked (sorry to coin a phrase) by the guys at the top.?. Can they not just say that you have reached your target (albeit as is being reported 20k short) and your short term future if not long term future (no doubt) has been secured at least rewarding all the fans who have made a massive effort in keeping the club afloat?.

one of my mates heard a rumour that some fans of other clubs have been making bogus pledges

Where did all the takings from last night go??
Epic turn out !!
20k less 5k season ticket holder gives 15k to pay in
Split that 50 /50 gives a cash injection of over 225K yet fund only goes up by 80k???
