You knew in advance what the trust [icould[/i purchase and donate to the club? I say 'could' because the more members we have, the more/better things we could do and the stronger voice we would have.



So, when all the memberships are up for renewal in February, Forever Reds could publish something, perhaps a totaliser, something graphic, showing what the trust could do when it reaches a certain number of members.



For example:



100 members — Dietary supplements for the Academy squad

150 members — Help towards travel/maintenance costs for the Red Hot Flames

200 members — Kit for the Academy squad

250 members — New tackle bags, balls, cones etc for local amateur teams

300 members — Sponsor another first team squad member promoted from the Academy

400 members — Physio equipment

500 members — Sponsor local amateur team

750 members — Extra piece of gym equipment

1000 members — Extra scholarship place for the Foundation/Academy



A speculative list, but you get the idea. Would something like this encourage you more to join up or renew your membership?

How many members needed before you get a shot a team selection

Not much. 2000 members gets us a few Uzis, a used tank and materials for molotov cocktails which can be used for a supporter-led coup.

This is eactly what is needed. I think the lack of members is down to the fact hardly anything is known about what forever reds do ( through no fault of the members ) just that it doesnt get much press. Also surely some free advertising space in the ground from the club isnt too much too ask perhaps a couple of billboards etc

lmao Chico

good idea chico..did anyone read the newsletter that was handed out at the game on friday..

Nice one Gaz, I'm in





Beezer - What newsletter???????????????????????

FYI I was the one slurring his words.

news letters were handed out by me at half time and then left on tables in the willows. i did see a number of fans not bothering to look at them and chucking away...

i'm a member of forever reds, but i wouldn't be if i knew we were spending money on the flames. (150 members)

sorry if some aren't happy, but i would rather sponsor a junior team in the region.
