corbyloyal84 130 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 now i know this has been talked about time and time again but surely a viable source of funding could be created by us the fans paying into an account set up by someone independant from the board as i know alot of people would want nothing to do with it if it wasnt. yes i know people pay hundreds if not thousands to support our club as it is every year but even paying £5 a week into this it would soon add up if hearts can fucking do it im sure we can Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Personally wouldn't give a penny unless I was getting something for it like ST or merchandise.If the club is mismanaged again it will disappear into someones pocket never to be seen again.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Unless we were in danger of going under or it was a way of having more influence at the club it's a waste of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 This might not be popular but is it not the job of the board to seek funding to allow the club to fufill it potential, these guys need to go out and drum up funds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,249 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 With the turnover we generate we shouldn't need anymore money from the supporters.I think this is still possible without including ST holders though, they are no longer enough, say 50,000 fans paying £15 per month receiving match day programs, RTV, raffles of signed merchandise, match day tickets, training days etc. That's £750k per month potentially from non ST holders, ex pats etc.Has to be worth a look IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
