Agree with the OP, even with an army of Stu Maw clones basic fundraising simply isnt gonna be enough and hopefully the club and fans can come up with a solution…
It’s going to require something like a monthly / annual / five year / ten year / lifelong membership scheme and subscription model. It needs to be properly set-up, properly committed to. I personally would sign up to something to put more money in, in this way. I’m not sure I’d expect much more in return than just knowing I was making a difference, after the last few turbulent years and the recent increased awareness of how fragile things are. Other members will want something more for their ‘subs’ and so that is an area where the Club and organised fan groups could engage over ideas.
I listened to the FC100000 guy’s BBC Humberside interview again and, in the cold light of day, to be completely fair to him he made some good points about football clubs in general. However, there is no clear proof of concept for his particular ‘new improved version’ business model. I thought as much as he showed an understanding of football clubs as businesses he showed a clear lack of understanding of football fans.
I can’t see that thread
