If the league decide to resume the season I would imagine that all games will be behind closed doors. If this is the case, I wonder whether the club could set-up a pay per view service of our home games. I know that there are quite a few streaming services out there that will allow their customers to keep 100% of the revenue. It might be worth looking into.

Given the lack of activity I presume that the club have given up on fundraising during this crisis - bit surprising as I am sure that many of us would have been pleased to help out. Never mind there are plenty of other worthwhile charities that I can give my spare coppers to.
Stay strong and healthy.

That's not the case, yet. The Club are looking into their options and don't want to make any swift judgements yet which may impede any other decisions they may make. This is all unchartered territory.

If you trust the Club enough to donate, you'll give them the time needed to get the full story.

I will repeat though - one CERTAIN way of helping the Club would be to buy shares in the parent company

I've just received through the post, without asking, a letter from the DFCSA enclosing a share application form, so somebody's doing something.

There are other fundraising schemes, which I should have really included at the beginning such as the Warbler Lottery. £5 a month, you get the chance to win one of eight prizes a month, first prize being £200. For more information, email dfcsacom@gmail.com

Bought share last week hoped for more action by now.

Sorry there's nothing to report at the moment. Just because there's no public action at the moment, please don't think that things aren't happening behind the scenes.

Not meaning to have a go Gary - appreciate the good work that's done.

The recent AGM voted to accept the Club's wish to increase the maximum A share holding and I will follow that line and top up my A shares accordingly. It makes sense in terms of strengthening the balance sheet and I can see why the Club wished to take that line, but I'm sure that if supporters do what they can, when and how they can, all proceeds will be gratefully received.

Thanks Gary - just emailed and was given bank details which enabled me to set up a monthly standing order online. Gone for 2 entries at £10. Took me no more than 10mins to set up. Every little helps.
