I think the per game donations idea is great. I would donate what I would pay for my match ticket each game happily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworth blue Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 On a similar line to the weekly pledge of match day admission to the Contingency fund (or whatever title we agree on) My thoughts are that I am not prepared to attend a game at BP until ALMO go or at least until they change course and start effectively engaging with supporters* (* suggest won't happen so its till they go). I am saving the money that I would have paid for my season ticket (£250) for 2021/22 season and am currently looking to donate this after the season has ended assuming ALMO still in situ. If they left in season, I would go ahead and purchase a season ticket for remainder of the season so would want to retain that option until ALMO have gone. I was also considering adding admission monies from away matches that I would normally attend (Dale, Salford, Sutton, Orient, Brentford, Harrogate, Sunderland and maybe others that I have not listed), say £20 per game as I am not currently attending in case I get hooked again and am not prepared to get hooked until ALMO go. I am not sure how many fans are choosing not to attend BP but I suspect that its possibly along the lines of a few hundred. If fans could be persuaded to donate what they would have paid for their season tickets to an organisation like OASF then I am sure the fund would grow quite significantly. I was wondering if 500 fans would donate £250 season ticket money that would be £125,000 If 1000 fans would donate would be £250,000. Equally if fans could be persuaded to donate match day admission costs from revenue saved by not attending, say £20 a game, then 1000 donations @£20 would give a nice little £20,000 towards the fund. I was disappointed that the pledges on the OASF forum appear to be just various £s and not promoted as Season ticket or Match Day revenue donations as this would feel help focus fans on what their sacrifices (and I seriously mean that, i know from myself and others choosing not to attend how difficult a choice it is) are going to contribute towards. Be interested to hear others' opinions on said suggestions 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'd put something in monthly if I could see some momentum. It's all, inevitably, chicken and egg but seeing no updates at all is a massive disincentive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OASF1895 Lottery Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 By way of an update, as I pledged openness and transparency, the Lottery has raised £11,385.60 to date. Of that figure, £4,334 has been played, but the prize money of £1,200 remains liabile, as well as £5 bonus each week. 244 players currently play 288 lines. 24 of the 31 players have donated their prize back into the fund.

Can you ask about the pledges as well as the lottery please? I've pledged £10 a month so would be interested to know how many others are contributing in addition to the lottery.
