LightDN123 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Website looks good on the IOS mobile device. Glad to see the total available for us all to see. Lets get some initiatives and clear communication/marketing and hope people can begin to get behind the cause. Does that total include what has been raised by the lottery ?

At the moment, it would be the same as walking into a ferrari showroom and announcing you have 27p in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it refreshing to see openness instead of the 'undisclosed, don't tell them anything' and attitude of the club for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 A few things here that we are going to have to accept. 1. It is going to take a long time to raise a significant amount of money. 2. We don't have to decide right now what we are going to do with it. The important thing is building up the pot. 3. Regardless what is decided we will not all agree with what it should go towards.

If the club goes to the wall and the money is still sat with the trust then we use it to start the new club. If we have already spent it in a failed attempt to save the club (a quite probably scenario) then its wiped out we don't see it again. We start a club from scratch but we also have to start again with the fund raising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute it's "Oldham Athletic Supporters' Foundation" (i.e. with a possessive apostrophe on the plural) - and then shortly afterwards the apostrophe is dropped. Whatever way you want to do it - at least be consistent! Then it says, "at the heart of it's community" - there should be no apostrophe in "... its community" - that's just from a cursory glance at the site. Sorry but poor once again.

I'm sorry but the average person doesn't give a fuck about apostrophes, far more important things in life to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Website looks good and hopefully it will help generate interest and a bit of momentum. Being clear and concise is a big help as in the past stuff to do with the Trust always seemed to be full of jargon and relentless acronyms that northern thickos like me didn’t understand.

It will be appreciated and will only take a tiny amount of your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
