Over 2k in solid cash we definitely have with plenty still to come in pledges etc and at present 58 separate donations made. Wonderful stuff from everyone, keep it going and please give whatever change you have, it all counts and all goes towards the final total and towards our club.

Lets really show the club what fanpower can do if we put our minds to it and get together!

Bump - is today gonna be the first day we don't get a donation towards it? Is everyone all donated out?

Had to slow down eventually.

It's still been a good effort though.

Just had my Dad around for tea & his glass of wine (he's a pensioner) but instead of his usual freebie we charged him a fiver this time stick it in the pot Ste.

I haven't a clue as to how many active members we have on the forum but it's a damn sight more than 58. C'mon, with the donations not already counted (like I have to hand over to Ste at the next home game) we should be able to get £2,500. PM Ste & tell him you'll hand over a quid, fiver........whatever. Any higher than that & Geoff will be sweating
Money will be hard to come by with the run of three home games coming but equally it's going to hit the club badly so that's why it's even more important that we should be getting anyone you can to throw a couple of quid towards this, I'll still be pestering one or two ex supporters at work to donate, dont let them hide, collar them.

Out of interest Ste, how much has been promised apart from by card/paypal? Wont hold you to it in case one or two forget.

I would imagine plenty of people cannot afford to donate.

I don't think badgering them serves a purpose. It doesn't make those who don't want to donate change their mind and it probably makes those who cannot afford to donate feel bad.

On top of that, we have three home games in 7 days coming up which will all be before a lot of people's next payday.

I hope you never invite me round for tea if I have to pay for it Ian.Tell me where he lives and I will give him his fiver back.
Did he sweep your chimney as well.

He got it at a reduced rate aswell Graham & when I thought about it, he'd brought the bottle of wine around himself Wait till I invite him around for Christmas dinner........now that will boost the fund.

Just give me the fiver & I'll make sure Ste, I mean my Dad gets it

It was said with a rather large amount of my tongue in my cheek, mainly just to keep this topic in peoples minds. I really don't think it would make anyone feel bad if their financial circumstance's won't allow them to donate & I certainly didn't mean it to make people feel that way.

And I did realise that we had three home games coming up on the bounce.........thats why I mentioned it.

I believe if we are ever really threatened financially as a club then the real fans of AFC will be here to sort it.We moan.we grumble.we argue.But at the end of the day we love our local team and would never allow a Darlington situation to arise.Neither do i believe would the BOD.We are in it together and i believe we as fans are simply the best.

Yes and not being funny here, we were back in 99. Yes Brian Keen et al were the figure heads but without the support of normal fans it wouldn't have happened at all. We were the elements they were the catalyst, thats how I see it anyway.

Better late than never I've just added my twenty quid. Wished it could be more but I've only recently recovered from financial meltdown myself.
