twinny Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just seen on the BBC Sportsday that Macclesfield Town are going to let anyone who donates £20k to the club have ten minutes on the pitch in a league or cup game. Do you think this would be worthwhile? If two people did that (and we stipulated league cup games only) then we'd probably have funds for one more player.

Yellow & Redneck Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 £2000 a minute, to play infront of less than 2,000 people!!! Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottymagoo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'm actually annoyed at you for even suggesting this. People don't pay good money for a ticket to watch a ***** with more money than sense indulge his own ego. The FA should be nipping this on the bud pronto, it makes a complete mockery of the sport. The whole point is you play because you're good enough, not because your rich enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeehon Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 They need to raise £100k fast. I don't think this is a bad idea, say there is a millionaire out there willing to help the club but wanting even something as slight as this in return, fair play to them for coming up with this. Also the fact that they're only choosing one person from fit 18-35 year olds suggests it won't be that much of a mockery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottymagoo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Aye it is. Not getting yourself so much into debt that you have sell places in the first team would have been a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do it in the games v celtic, get the equivalent of their gate contribution, and save bothering letting any one of their supporters into Firhill, and as a result ensuring keeping North Stand red and yellow.

Lenziejag Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I guess they would need to get on either for the first 10 mins or the last 10 mins. At any other poin in the game and you would be wasting 2 subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partick monkey Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 What's to stop rich ***** from opposing teams sabotaging games to benifit their own club? You can do a lot of damage in 10 mins. Look at Stevie Fulton... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly look what Celtic season ticket holder Craig Whyte done with £1, can you imagine what wonders he could have created with £20k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 A similar, but more realistic, fundraising idea could be to offer fans the opportunity to train with the team for a day in return for a reasonable donation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
