The team coach is an extension of the dressing room. Things need to stay within the dressing room. All you need is a Fan who is a gossip or a stirrer to be on there and you've got potentially big problems. Any club with a professional approach is mad to allow it in my view.

[Ballers]

I think the reason why this appeal has come out is because of the fixture change. An overnight stay which is clearly necessary for a saturday afternoon game wasn't required for a tuesday game and therefore wasn't budgeted for. This is an extra cost that we need to find money for.

[Mrs Warbouys]

The club need to stress on tuesday that the bucket collection is for this overnight stay and then more people will hopefully put more in the bucket than usual

[Narcissist]

The club should offer exclusive naming rights for moss lane to one of the many chain hotel groups,in return for overnight stays for the team. Be it travel lodge or premier inn etc its got to be worth at least trying to broker this sort of arrangement.Most of these chain hotels have premises in all conference towns.

Its a great idea. Although maybe the naming rights should go to a bigger cause, not that i can think if any off the top of my head.

What actually happens to the bucket collections,do they go the club via
TASC or straight into the club's account.I would think it would be better
if these went through TASC & were allowed to biuld up so that there is
always money available for this situation to help the club out.I'm sure
that in my SAFE days that we always carried an emergency fund for
this sort of situation,I know it caused some disagreements between
the club & the SAFE commitee because the club didn't think that we
should be sitting on moneythat they desperately needed but this
present situation with overnight stays would clearly show this to be
the right route to go down,with an emergency fund always available.
 

[Ballers]

Whilst all TASC money raised does go straight to the club, thus providing an important continuation of funds particularly at times of few match the matchday bucket collections are for the sos scheme, ie set aside withing club funds solely for squad strengthening purposes. Altho as they now bring in about 50 or 60 quid rather than the 100 they used to it takes an awful lot b4 the manager can use them. On certain occasions the bucket collection can be allocated to specific things and announced as such.

[York Alty]

GH was adamant that no fans would travel with the players on the bus AND HE WAS 100% CORRECT.

[Stan Hibbert]

Allowing sponsors on the coach was just a thought and I said exactly that and it was only one of a few suggestions I threw out there. Rather than picking up on something you don't agree with, which is easy to do, why not be a bit more positive on other suggestions unless of course there all a load of rubbish which they may very well be...

Anyway, it looks like I've totally missed the point as the appeal for funds for overnight accommodation for the Bath game is probably a one off due to fixture change as mentioned by Ballers.

A suggestion,....for the bucket collection on tuesday,....notes preferred please (and not IOU's)

[AltyIan]

what happened to all the playoff donations last year, surely that should have been kept for situations like this or did we spend it on something else?

That was spent on the fee for applying for the playoffs.

[AltyIan]

aaah fair play

[markecky]

With the postponement of last nights game, the money is needed more than ever now.

Don't forget you can pay with any credit or debit card  here

I have just given my entrance fee that I would have spent last night.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I've made a small donation this morning as well.

I really hope we can do this overnight stay as it clearly made a difference last Saturday.

[Darren]
