Jaggernaut Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I read somewhere that Raith Rovers fans had already raised more than 40 Grand. Well done to them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just £680 to go to hit the first target of £30,000 ! Great company to be in alongside Firhill great, Freddie Frans who continues to the support the Jags and I'm guessing David Thomson QC was either working pro-bono or he's been gifting his fee(s) back to the cause (a couple of times).

Well done to them! They are of course on a roll. Straight to the Championship ..do not pass GO. There supporters will be on a high from a league win and promotion so it stands to reason the till will be ka-chinging. Well Gel but I suppose they have done there time down the leagues. Hopefully we will collect enough to survive and join them in a few years. Lets get that last £600 sorted by the weekend Jags fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that players have made donations as well as ex-players, Ian McCall (on more than one occasion) and other employees. They have their troubles too with at least half a dozen of them out of contract and the possibility that their income will dry up entirely in a few weeks time with restricted opportunities out there. We each have to do what we can ourselves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norgethistle Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Out of interest, is this being drip fed to the club or will it be handed as a big lump sum at a time when either club needs it or a significant target is met Also is the Working group still running and TFE still taking donations, surely now is the time to start pushing forward and change pledges to a pot of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wish to be one we need to accept we will be League 1 and Championship at most. The one thing this virus has shown is we need business people in charge with financial clout and muscle to dig us out as and when required.

If we were fan controlled right now and didn't have money in the bank from years past that the 3BC egomaniac tried to spend last season on her pal Caldwell, before she was sacked and spending was reigned back in we would be on our knees just now with the covid crisis. And we may still yet be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 What I'm not clear on is how fan ownership excludes having business people in charge with financial clout and muscle. Does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? I would hope part of the “model” would be to allow X percent of the shares to be available to an investor. Otherwise it’s 2500 fans that will need to raise any and all the funds when an expansion to budgets is needed, the stadium needs fixing, or wages need paying when no income. The model needs to be flexible and allow for a change in the future if situation dictates. The current status quo with 3 Black Cats owning the majority of the club and half the ground will not progress the club and leaves us very exposed financially, as I don’t believe Lowe has the financial clout to bail us out if an emergency happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we get the shares, the ground and have a flexibility within the setup. Follow Stirling Albions set up and yes we are, it is basically impossible to allow external investment in return for shares, and impossible to change the set up, hence why they do sponsored car washes etc to make ends meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
