Don't disagree but I think Disney Cat is looking at a quick way to raise £400,000 which his idea achieves.

Many years ago I took Life Membership for £500 which was a lot of money to me and at a time when we looked like going under and I certainly had my monies worth so it would be a bargain.

I think there may be merit in looking into this idea as I'm sure there would be a few take it up.

lots of people are saying join the lottery or join club 1873. I have no idea how to do either. And if i dont, hundreds of others wont either (remember on here we are the huge minority of Wakey fans). Next season there should be a highly visable tent/office where people can join on matchdays and get a leaflet on where their money will be spent (player retention, youth systems etc)

Or just go into one of the three shops, Mabel, I'm sure they'll be happy to take your money off you !!!!!

Life membership or Multiple years Season Tickets might be an option but would need to be priced at the right point. No point in us selling 1000 of these if it then means the Club don't then get any income in future years from those 1000 people and that leaves big holes in future years.
Whatever is done has to be to put us into a sustainable position.

Brilliant, if all that info was visable each week, im sure loads would sign up. All the money going to the Trinity youth development it should be renamed the 'Wholey Trinity Lottery'. Whats i'm really getting at is making it really easy for people to become part of the club. In general Humans are lazy creatures so when the club has a captive audience it makes sense to hit them between the eyes and take money off them. Give a limited edition free pin badge, hat or scarf for the first 1000 people and for the next 1000 give something else limited edition, anything like that makes people want to join. If something is limited they get a fear of loss, let people collect these limited edition stuff if they up their spending on the lottery etc....

Not as easy for me, i live in Giantsville

I think Mable makes a good point.
If there was something visible as folk enter the ground, it would serve as an excellent reminder that we need to support the scheme.
I'm not suggesting someone sitting under a blanket with an old dog next to them but, instead it could be manned by some of the up and coming players.

Could do a £20 draw, to get a stand named after you for the next 5 years open to both wakey fans and anybody else willing to trying help the club from various clubs, to attract those none wakey fans to have a go offer them a match of their choice full hospitality or something.

It does have to be priced right. An alternative may be say to give £125.00 discount off a full priced ST for 10 years for £1,000. That way the Club gets £1,000 when it most needs it and if you buy a ST for 10 years you save £250. Plus the Club has got a fan for the next 10 years.

Taking that further, businesses pay £5000 to be put in a hat to be drawn at a pre-season game. Winner gets the main stand names after them, minimum of 25 businesses to enter. 1 in 25 chance of having the main stand with your name on it mentioned on radio, seen on TV etc for just £5000. Revenue of £125000 for 1 stand. do the same for naming other stands, bars, stadium.

Not a bad idea that!
