Interesting read B&G. It seems logical but will any of the clubs take it onboard,I sincerely hope they do.
Is there a running total somewhere ?
I would like to donate on a monthly basis, but not until I know that there will be a full and transparent remit as to where the money is going.

I think there may be a few of us in that position SL, that is why I have suggested the War Chest (and any fan contribution fundraising) should be a FotL campaign - the club would still get the cash (as that is the whole MO of the FotL) but it would then be clearly reported, as a minimum, at the Friends AGM and any questions about (any) scheme's operation could be brought up at the AGM and at £5 membership isn't financially prohibitive.

Griss, sorry but I don't understand the logic of changing the FotL from it's current format - everyone know what it is there to do and whilst there may be differing opinions about how well it achieves its aims, those aims are reasonably well understood - what would a 'social club' do? Personally if the FotL moved away from it's stated aims of co-ordinating supporters to help raise revenue funds for the football club then I probably wouldn't renew my membership.
As we are a far bigger team than when the FOTL was brought in to being,and I feel it needs to grow with the club? And a way to do that would be to increase the size of the committee slightly,raise subs to £10 a year,form a sub committee to organise social club events?
The membership of the fotl for a club our size is pathetic we need to attract more members to join the F O T L we need a drive to recruit more members
Would it be possible to make it so could join online rather than download a form and post it. A lot more would probably join if it was easier.
