I think just leave it for the club to work out how best to use the money imo. From past marketing they have done I'm sure they will have a better idea of what works and what doesn't.

Maybe they will do another free entry for NHS staff, that would be a nice gesture after everything that has gone on.

If that were true then we wouldn't be running this thread would we? The club get plenty of cash from me to do with as they please. This was a parallel idea I think?
I know Homme Vast has probably killed it off though so I guess we'll just go and buy another hoody or something.

Nah, I'm still up for it. Let's see how much we get and what they say next week.

I find your hoody fetish a bit disturbing

OK folks, whatever the club decide to do I think we need to be around about the £800 mark, if we can get to that I reckon they would make up any minor shortfall.

We are at £500 by my reckoning, which is absolutely brilliant but we need another 12 pledges to make that figure,

So this weekend can anyone who's not already done so can they put their names down if they wish to do so. Also if any of you can give a nudge to any forum members they know who don't visit often to please take a look.

Thanks

i'm in.Just let me know when & how.

I've another pal who is in.

Count me in. Cheers

A very noble idea Vasty, but it seems a very sad and sorry state of affairs, if the club are having to rely on fans, to provide the backing for marketing. Feels like my time as a treasurer at a local amateur sports club back in the day.

It all seems a bit amateur by the club, but not the poster's who are willing to take a chance and part with a bit of brass.

Good luck with it though.

Let's go for it. Great way for fans to support the club in a not expensive but significant way.

Under normal circumstance I’d agree but Covid has denied us normal.

The club did have a promotions budget and now they don’t, it’s that simple.

Also again due to Covid people are now out of the habit of attending games. The hope is that most will be chomping at the bit to return but we can’t bank on it, so any little reminder should help.

You make a good point regarding your days as the treasurer of a local club. We as fans of Trinity have to accept that of all the SL clubs we are the least like a business. We are run in a very business style no doubt but to my eyes they are not the same.

We simply do not have the infra structure, the financial backing or enough local support to be a real going concern in the way Leeds are for example.

We are getting there but slowly and to say Covid has dented our progress is a huge understatement.

For now the club exist in limbo, a kind of semi pro. Some bits of the club are so professional they are the envy of others. Some bits would seem very familiar to those running amateur clubs.

I honestly think we are on the final stretch now but we will need the help of fans to make the final hurdles whether we like it or not. It’s a big ask considering how much crap Trinity fans have had to put up with but as they say it’s always darkest before the dawn.

I honestly don’t blame anyone from holding back but I also believe in unlocking the potential of those who do want to help.

One last point, Trinity still belongs to the fans, one of the few clubs that does. It’s not the play thing Of a wealthy man or a cash cow for the egos of a group of rich men. MC and JM are more like stewards who as far as I can tell is only wish to hand the club back in a much better condition than they found it. I’m happy to support that.

if I can arrange some way of sending the money from abroad,- then I'm in for £25

I assume it will be timed to coincide with the first fixture which has tickets on open sale rather than limited to season ticket holders.
Do you have any idea when this is likely to be?

Is it possible to reward those who actually use the flyer to gain entry?

Correct so it's probably some time off yet,

Hopefully, you can do a BACS transfer or pay on-line at the shop, I'm waiting for info on that.
