Quote Northernrelic="Northernrelic"Four more needed and we will have reached the first level. Would like to think once the first team squad is sorted we could sponsor some of the academy lads as we did in the past. I know circumstances have forced us to scour the world for next seasons squad, but more sustainable to get the academy working again to bring on the home grown talent'"
Absolutely. If we manage to get over £500, I think we have several options:
1. Hang on to the excess until opportunities arise to sponsor Academy players.
2. Try to push on to £1,000 and sponsor a second fringe player.
3. Give the excess as a donation to the club.
4. Give the excess as a donation to BullBuilder or the Foundation.
I have presented them in the order I would prefer (1 being my preferred option). Like Northernrelic, I would like us to support the club through supporting the Academy / Academy products. And despite (or because of) my involvement in BullBuilder, I would not like to be seen to be hijacking money initially purposed directly for the club.
