Andy candy, can the club please offer some incentive for fans investment. I would donate if I got something back

I'm all for new ideas but we always seem to come up with the worst. Other clubs are offering £10 discounts on new shirts when you trade in your old ones, 5 or 10 game flexi tickets, you know - offers people would actually use.

I would be surprised if anyone went in for this. Literally a single person.

[quote="hector"]...[color=#FF0000]but you do get the chance to win a dinner at a home game![/color] Which, I suppose you could do anyway if you kept the £20 and spent it on a pre-match lunch once or even twice a month!

They do need to rethink it. For two months payments you could buy the home shirt. After 6 months you could have bought all three kits. I cannot imagine anyone other than those who have more money than sense would think, 'Hey, money is tight but I am such a loyal fan, I'm going to donate it to that charity, oh, I mean, business that is TUFC.'[/quote]

Your forgetting, that's subject to availability, so if you win it and can't have your dinner on the game of your choosing, pick another. Agree with all on this, to expensive, poor idea.

I'll take four memberships!!!!!!!!! Yes, just what we've all been waiting for!

And I would like to contribute but not this way. Poor marketing, couldn't be bothered to think it through and at least offer something in return, like a mention in the programming, meet the players, what about setting something up with the swimming pool and try some priority parking, I don't know there are loads of ideas, some are non starters but you have to think of them, they obviously haven't! Like someone else posted embarrassing and amateurish.

Embarrassing

The worst thing about this is the way it is written. Very poor way of asking for donations. Almost like they are doing us a favour!

What a crackpot idea !!

The marketing & selling of our club needs a SERIOUS rethink.

Do they really expect people to pay for that that ? O.K its an important part of our club but what a crass and lazy way of asking for peoples money !!!

You're welcome to donate more than £20 a month if you wish (but not less).. Unfortunately, few of us have that kind of money to spare. :-/

Cheeky buggers! :-o
