I sent Bill a message a few months ago - on the very subject on plugging the funding gap - with a selection of proactive ideas.

1. club together

A crowdfunding campaign designed to united whatever remain of the board and the fans. Fans pitching in money to be matched in some way by a board personal contribution or by bringing in funds from a college or business associate (non existing)

A target of £30,000 for fans, and £20,000 for the board. Every penny pledge by a fan would be held until the total has been reached, and returned if the figure is not met. Should the £30,000 be met, the £20,000 is then added by the board.

The rewards for fans donating could be cool one offs such a pair of custom "Altrincham" adidas orginals, a curry with an Altrincham legend (max 10 people), a Lego version of moss lane, an Alty TV experience for your cup final. Non of this match day experience free coach trip etc.

2. Doing up the sponsors lounge office

Turning the offices in the Manchester glass lounge into 4-6 people dining areas themed around the club. So one could be alty giant killers, one could be subuteo and one Altrincham community. These could potentially be cool meeting rooms of offices for hot desking (or still used by their current purpose.

3. Plugging the news gasp.

A whatsapp version of club call. Instant team new, signing etc straight from the website.

Great ideas, although I suspect a little too advanced/modern for our prehistoric board. A board who can't get their head around the importance of social media, for example...

Did you hear anything back?

You just couldn't write this up. A day after we are relegated a rallying call for fans to put the hands in their pockets.


Amazing

As I have previously posted, no money from me anymore, no season ticket, no patrons, no nothing until there is a change, do I really have to watch this club fall any further? you can blame us all you like but the only way you will get my money again is by stepping down at the end of the season and announcing that now!!!

I must say, the timing seems odd. Last year the appeal was put out on 21st April. I can only presume the board are looking to get a clear picture earlier. Which is probably just as well as they're going to get the shock of their lives this year I feel.

No season ticket and no patrons money (x2) from me until the Chairman does the decent thing and steps down. Anything else just won't cut it.
