spend the money on more free coaches the team need your support home and away

Could not agree with you more Stone, especially as we have someone <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/taz.gif" alt="" /> at the helm who doesn't mind telling us all that he's "worth a few bob" then maybe the fans can get something back from what they put in?

Like I said earlier, it's just an idea.

Plenty of time to decide.

As someone has previously posted it's not likely to make much of a dent into the alleged debt, i like the coaches option that way it can go back to those that put it in and support the team at the same time,don't forget there is still the matter of the outstanding debt to the coach firm that will need clearing

[Bridge]

Not all of us use the coaches A1ITT and what about the fans who can't travel away for what ever reason!!!

 

It's a tricky one!!!!

[and1inthetree]

what about donating to charity?

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Wouldn't that cause more problems?

 

Differences of opinion etc????????

[Keemo]

put it to the fans we are a charity in need !!!

[and1inthetree]

sorry, forgot the 'just an idea' disclaimer <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

perhaps the fans who do not come on the forum could be consulted via the matchday programme?

 

we could list a few options, such as.

 

Papini (IRE) 7-4

At Your Request 20-1

Golden Millenium (GER) 8-1

Mixsterthetrixster (USA) 8-1

See You Sometime 2-1

 

*just an idea, mind*

-£2,500.00 Money to injured players who had not received a wage
-£500.00 Money to make up players wages

I hope that £1100 is a lona and we do get it back as it is the supporters money.

Suggestion- THe HFC coach sitting unused in the car park. Rip the interior out so it seats 52 instead of 20 odd. Mend it, fix it the lot. Pay a driver everyweek and use that as away travel...

[CraigDavid]

how about an end of season party or something at the british legion then that way a lot of people mite be able to go?

 

again just a suggestion!

[urchinboys]

My vote is ..............

Advertised free or cheap coach travel for all to the last game of the season. Might ensure we have a few more coming next season.

[Eastside Urchin]

the money was raised to help the club or for the benefit of the club,i still think this should be the case,but does the club still need our money,i think we should hold on to it until unc tells us whats going on,if the club needs the money,it should go to them,every bit helps,but if not i am up for the weymouth idea,as its a bank holiday weekend,will be a nice day out

[Pretty Vacant]

Having read this as someone who does not support Hornchurch, I'm not sure if the donations made to Urchin Aid would have been given so freely if people knew the money was going to subsidise supporters travel to an away match. Still, my suggestion, for what its worth, is why not give it to the Tsunami appeal? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/affig.gif" alt="" />

[urchinboys]

It was given by the supporters to help the club surely supporting the club at away fixtures is helping the club?

[The Monk]

Tsunami appeal? I agree they have more problems that us but still...

 

But lets not let this post turn into a political dicussion about rights and wrongs...

TIES? As in ties around your neck? £1,100 is a bit much...

[The Monk]

Oh and another thing, why are we paying for players that are amature? Or is there something that had not been told?

[Dagger03]

I doubted very much that UA would be a success - I am delighted to have been proved wrong.

 

My one and only comment is that coach travel, if it is to be subsidised to any degree, should be done through the supporters club - is there one ? - and not through a charity fund raising night.

 

The organisers of the event have done a good job in allocating the money so far.

 

For the record, I travel by car to the away matches, and it cost well over £100 on at least three occasions this season - and it was money well spent.

[R&W Dynamite]

PM...the Red Cross have got a slightly bigger problem than us, and I think that they do need money. However, IMO urchin aid money is for the urchins.

[R&W Dynamite]

£1100 on ties does seem a bit much. I hope some of them will be on sale to the fans! I mean, how many ties can you get for that sort of money?(that is if they are neck ties).
