CBRammette Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Back to Roy's original question, does anyone know anyone with experience of setting this up who could help if we need this? Is it hard to get going? If we need £1.5m for Sept or Oct and 50,000 people sign up that would be £30 each or a match ticket to save another 3 point deduction. I know its a really tough time for many but some who can would hopefully donate much more (ex players????) and enough people giving £2.50 or a coffee would really help. The simplest form would seem to be Donation Crowdfunding where People invest simply because they believe in the cause. Donors have a social or personal motivation for putting their money in and expect nothing back, except perhaps to feel good about helping the project. sorry if this seems pie in the sky but can we really just sit back and do nothing assuming the money will come from elsewhere? Am i going mad to want to try? Dethorn, Ram1988 and r_wilcockson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i going mad to want to try? Set up a crowdfunder with some form of i.d. so people know it'll go to the club. It can't hurt,like you say,if everyone did what they could afford it would help somewhere along the line r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i going mad to want to try? I'm not interested because every single Derby player is a lot richer than me, so why should I pay their inflated wages? It's not at all a criticism of the Derby players. You take what you can get. But the football world is crazy.

GenBr Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Seems like a waste of money to me until we know what is going to happen going forward. Minus 3 points is the least of our worries at the moment. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classes as a donation,and as there's no end goal or stretch target,people have the opportunity to remove their money if they want to up to a certain time after donation Should just add,having never done it myself and only going from advice of people that previously have, it may take a bit more research!

We dont know what they may be doing already but what we do know is if we dont pay wages thats more points off by the efl probably each time, contract positions become weaker, players go and ultimately we may not be able to fulfil fixtures. Bye bye Derby. Of course that may happen anyway so lets not bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or security costs? If we're going down and let's be honest probably are, at least doing something to keep going is worth a shot.
