Even getting to 500 would be a huge step forward 

I think if you could double the members it would make a massive difference even on £5 a month. That a loan be £1250 per month or £15000 per year extra. We know every little counts and others will do at least £10 per month which will be £30k per year, which buys a decent part time player. Personally my funds are tight at the moment and I do the minimum, but it is just an equivalent to a pint of beer at the pub. 👍  After Christmas I will definitely put more into the system for recruitment.

Martin it might be a little difficult just before Christmas but possibly come the New Year get another event on at the club and quiz. May be put across what the extra members even for as little as £5 a month could achieve for the club. 

How about a VIPS season launch event at the Village in January. Get some of the players down, open to everyone. Have a quiz and prizes. Interview with Allan Coleman and a couple of the new signings. Then go round each table signing non-members up to a monthly subscription there and then. After a good night, positivity for the new season and a few beers it would give a good chance. Once you are signed up to £5 or £10 a month chances are you won't cancel.
