Can we get something together for the lads?

Something we can all put a tenner in as an incentive?

Something BarrowAberdeen can run with to be the face of?

Could only be cashed in upon being mathematically safe?

No a bonus.

So we raise lets say £100k and its shared between the squad upon survival

Shared between the fans for the pain we have had to deal with. 😂

I've never done drugs, but whatever you are on, I'll give it a go. A bonus for not being relegated but being, very clearly, one of the worst performing teams we have had.

Maybe buy a load of back braces with the money, I've followed us for nearly 40 years and have watched some serious shite over that time, this squad is the most spineless team I've ever seen without a doubt !!!!!

If any player needs more money than they already get in their over inflated wage packet (for 90 minutes performance on average a week) as a motivator to keep us up, then they shouldn’t be anywhere near the club.

Better idea would be to gather all staff at the next home game and show the players how many people will lose their job if we go down.

Some of these players need to realise they will end up semi pro after this season at this rate.

Now that is a great idea. Seriously. I'd back that all the way.

How about the squad chips in and refunds anyone who bought a season ticket.

Are you really being serious?
The wages some of these lads are on?
How about BFH.

Ive got to say I'm more with Steeley's idea tbh. The players are likely earning 1k to 2.5k a week give or take. What has always struck me is how poorly in football the non playing side are paid.

But I am running out of adjectives, emotions and ideas

Doing some of the history stuff this season, I just pray we can start the 125th in the Football League. I will likely get this wrong, but I make it 54 years in the League and 70 not so far, but take out when there was less league football and we are almost exactly equal.

Weve got to keep going, bear witness and show fight till the last minute we can affect. Starting with Gillingham at home then somehow Cheltenham that was disgracefully switched to Friday.

Not because they deserve it, because we do, the club do, and despite all frustrations, the town do.
