Andy - you were at the same meeting as me and we were told that it was a five figure sum and we are already 6% of the way there.

 

You will also note that membership has risen this year.

 

Now stop being a Jeremiah and be more positive.

Andy-You had the opportunity to ask this repetitive question at the meeting, now I will ask a senior respectable board member for you next time I'm at a Town game and maybe you'll stop asking this question.

Off the top of my head, if we arrange a couple of prestigious friendlies for the cause of our new ground then a gate of 3,000-4,000 to watch say for example West Ham/Spurs first team would generate 30k-40k at a

No not 50% of the total, probably 15-20% or other prizes such as giftcards from major stores. It would really depend on how many people want to join.

What is the five figure sum?

6% in six months? only just over 12 months to go, a lot of input needed there, what are the plans to raise the other 94%?

I asked the question and we were all told that it would cost a six figure sum to fund the whole project without sponsorship.

"I asked the question and we were all told that it would cost a six figure sum to fund the whole project without sponsorship."

 

Quite correct Andy but the Treasurer also said that he anticipated that the club would actually have to find a five figure sum towards the total spend. You appear to have forgotten that bit.

[andyetfc]

So I am correct that a six figure sum has to be found and that includes, hopefully, sponsorship.

 

EU. I won't shut up and my name's not Frank. Off the field issues have been mentioned on various threads. Should people not talk about these, or anything else for that matter?

 

At this rate we wll have an empty forum. Now that's what some people would want.

[littlehampton]

Andy,think you are perfectly entitled to ask questions on important issues that give particular cause for concern. Older Towner picked up from the meeting that the club needed to find

[Steph]

We were told by the treasurer at the meeting that he expects the club to have to find around
