| I think we will get Paul Cooke, because I think the determination is there and if the initial money raised is anywhere near the mark the club will plunge in, we can make up the shortfall somehow.
It's like booking a holiday, once you've decided on it you've got to pay for it and you invariably go.
We've set our sights on Paul Cooke and I will be very surprised if we let ourselves fall short of that. We will find a way to pay him.
I know it's easy to say, but we will.
It is that important, we have got to get out of this division and if the club cannot impress that on the rest of the fans who don't come on here then it's a poor do.
We really just need a couple of months wages that's around three grand to get going, the rest we will find as we go along, because we bloody well will have to.
We are doing our bit on here, but it shouldn't just be left to us.
And another thing, irrespective of whether Cooke is good or bad, I will not cancel my mandate.

agreed but it's ok until the travel company goes bust and isn't covered by ABTA then you are stuck up the creek without a paddle !

Hopefully the club will keep us posted on pledges. It'd be great if everyone could post their pledges on here. If we can get some momentum going, it might help persuade anyone who is undecided to join in.
It'd be great to hear from everyone.
Should we start a separate thread for pledges?'"
Perhaps we should, but it should be made clear this is not a competition, small amounts have as much weight as larger amounts.
Also that people should not be made to feel awkward if they can't afford such as £20/£25 per month.
I think donations are a private thing, I think it's up to the club to tell us how near we are in total.
If they do that we have got a handle on the size of the work left to do.
In other words, I can't see everyone posting on here what they have donated and so we will not be any the wiser. It's up to the club early next week to give us the lowdown on the first batch of donations, which after all will be the bulk unless something else is done.
I myself took my pledge form away from the meeting to save time, others might have done the same. I haven't decided what to give yet. Our lass says she would sooner give it to charity. She will be disappointed then.
You are correct it is not a competition. I will probably give £25 per month because i am in a position to do so. That does not mean that the person who can on give £2 is less important. I would say thanks for the £2.
I just thought if people could see on here that others were willing to commit to this it would spur them on also.

| i'm willing to send over something in terms of a lump sum which would be more practical for me but it could only be about £100 or so working out at about over the season @ £2 per week

| Good points made by Rupert.
I can understand that some people might prefer not to say how much they're signing up for. I've no problem at all with that.
The more that are seen to be making a commitment, the better. It will encourage others to help out too.
It's great that people from further afield (like Brighton Don and Sanjunien) are joining in.
