You see all these projects funded by fans and the like. MM states hes struggling to keep hold of Mangan, Jlaa,etc. Any idea how much we would need to raise to keep them at the club for a season , maybe we could raise enough for one ...
I think it would be worth a shot , anyone else want to comment on a supporters trsnsfer,contract fund idea ?
I seem to recall Grimsby doing it last season.

We did and we bought Darren Simpkin I think.
Anyhow I've already put 300 quid in to the Club, that'll do from me.

John Keister was funded by the fans if I remember correctly?

I thought it was a share issue (I bought some), and I thought we bought Spencer Whelan with the cash but could be mistaken.
Must have been late 90's, King era?

No it wasn't it was after the great escape and Whelen joined in 98... still think it was Matt redmile unless there was another in 98?

I must admit that I thought it was Keister, did the fans pay his wages rather than buy him?
Either way, reminds of you of the bleak times back then

To be fair it could have been both Whelen and Redmile... it could have been a couple of times...
it makes you think in the days where town rarley pay money for players we spunked over 60K on both of those carthorses!

Always thought we should do another fan funded signing
Contribute what you want to a pot, see where we are come Jan or the seasons end, and put it towards a player.
Be it a new one, or keeping an out of contract one here.
Either that or could use it towards renovations where needed
