Apparently Widnes chairman has pledged 10,000? Does explain how Betts has a job in SL, turns out the Widnes chairman is 110% bonkers!

think i read it on teletext last night.
personally i know loads of bulls fans who haven't and will not cough up to save the present regime. they've flogged the ground which was their security against the overdraft, and now the bank have said "hang on a minute?"
i wouldn't give them tuppence, just like i wouldn't to your mate ted.

Like has been said o'connor donated 10k to pump it past 100k, moving fast in the early stages.

A pledge is a promise to give the cash when they reach the target... it is not real money! Even Ted has the foresight to set up and escrow account and collect actual money... albeit the Wakey fans realised it was pointless propping the current BOD!

No money has gone anywhere yet, its a 'promise' to help out, they will still need everyone to pay up straight away. For their sake I hope nobody gets cold feet and changes their mind.

Nope there is a world of difference between the two. A pledge is a promise and considering who's giving these figure I'd be very dubious. Staggers me that people are willing to give these crooks at Odsal any money at all so I'm not inclined to believe a word these snake oil salesmen say. They will say owt if they think it gives them a chance of fleecing more folk, this stinks of creating a false momentum.

With the stated timescales being so tight it does seem a strange way to operate. Even if they meet the pledge target there will be a delay in collecting the cash.

I'm sure that will have been factored in. The PR said they needed half a million by mid April, but the deadline is next week. Two weeks seems enough time to collect pledge's, assuming there hasn't been any time wasters. |

Think they said they need it before the next round of salaries are due which is the 14th. So they'll have a week and the monday is a bank holiday. It will be tight.

It's nailed on there will be a fair few 'fake' pledges in the final total, what happens then ? If the collected money doesnt hit the target.
