crowd funding

[geoff1]

so the club is looking for supporters ideas for the lorne st stand and concourse. heres mine- directors instruct the commercial dept to find sponsors to complete the project! look at st6 firms not already sponsoring the club, give them the opportunity to be associated with a family/community/ well run club. a sponsored concourse eg titanic bar, fast food outlet, tile/bathroom toilet firm/steeliite international /Vodaphone/ fessy park/ what about robbies record company/new tannoy/video screens, food outlets/oatcakes/wrights pies/greggs/sentinel/radio joke/signal./atm theatre group/wilkes acadamey/the pubs o burslem (who survive on the vale)  there are plenty of other opportunities to raise money artisan market/car boot/food festival/beer festival/jazz and blues festival/folk festival/ that's it my brains gone! doing a great job carol keep up the good work

Some good suggestions there Geoff, but the first line is incorrect.

the club weren’t looking for supporters ideas, it was the supporters who put the idea to the club.

The ethos of the Shanahans' management of the club is for everyone to be involved, a family. As such, they don't need to ask for ideas but will certainly welcome them.

The ideas to fund help get the concourse finished was put forward a few weeks ago, the supports club have had a meeting with the football club to finalise stuff so hopefully we can start helping the club out very soon with a just giving page or bucket collections etc

the first line is correct, meetings being held between club an supporters club!

Are you suggesting that the directors don't instruct their staff to investigate such opportunities ? They're not thick ,now if it was Scumthwaite then I would understand.

In days gone by that was totally acceptable .... But can you imagine the self centred Elf and Shitey society screaming at the Sentinel and Radio Stoke - "Port Vale Suggesting coins are thrown at a moving target on a match day !"  What if the blanket carriers are hurt - who hold the necessary insurance. What about the old Bill ? It was ok when the world was a reasonable place but the arses of the world would frown on it now.

You don't mind being hit on the head or face by a £1 or £2 coin?

Health and Safety stopped 11 year olds working 12 shifts picking dust out of moving machinery. Thought you’d  know that at your age?
