Something that many clubs have done to raise a bit of extra revenue is auctioning off a place in the squad - the winner gets to be in the official team photo, a squad number, shirt etc... surely this is something we should try?
If the club want to do it they should act fast to get it sorted - maybe it could be raised at tonights meeting?
An alternative to an auction would be a sort of raffle, a pound a ticket and the winner gets to be the player, or nominate someone. I think the raffle would raise more money as more average fans could take part. Tickets could be sold in pubs, through anyone who picks them up from the club or online and then maybe the winner announced at the open day?
I think this sort of scheme can only benefit the club - there is very little cost - a few raffle tickets and maybe a shirt and yet I think there are lots of people who would take part - potentially you could raise thousands, after all the more tickets you buy the more likely you would be to win.

I think auction is not a good idea, but raffle is. Thing is if you auction someone who isnt particularly well off or who is short that month (so to speak) will miss out to someone who has plenty of cash on the hip. Raffle tickets and buy as many as you like

That was a chance to have your photo taken with the squad I think Carts, raised about £200.

The raffle thing is a great idea, rather than the auction, it gives the real fans without too much cash a chance of winning.. Could certainly make a few quid.

Add in a berth in the Staff vs ASFC match at end of season, great way to buy them a handicap

Great idea! I'm sure there will be lots of interest for fans young and old.
