Nameless It's a nice ideas, but unless you are looking at putting a figure approaching 7 figures in then it's not going to happen. Trying to get 10,000 people to throw in £100 would be impossible, and still not raise a sum that would really make any difference.
We've got some wealthy fans, you'd need to persuade them to underwrite any fundraising and given none have come forward so far I suspect they prefer to remain wealthy....

harry I don't get why these sorts of suggestions get dismissed out of hand. I asked something similar a while ago. Surely if some of us could put in some money it may help if things start to unravel. Yes, I accept we may not be able to put in enough each to cover everything but would you all be prepared to sit idly by and watch this club go under?

starliaison You're right that STAR doesn't have the funds to keep the likes of Pog going for very long. Indeed it's most unlikely we'd choose to use them for that.
But there are funds there that, if it ever came to the situation suggested, could, in my opinion, be used to pump-prime a campaign.
STAR might also be viewed as a safer and more accountable place to hold any funds raised rather than a random nobber's bank account.
I would say this, of course, but there's no need to start a fans' trust. We have one. You can influence it, use it, help it.

What is Stars formal position on the takeover - are you be kept in the loop as the voice of supporters?

Not so much. Our last formal statement is on our website but dates from Dec / Jan. Obviously we want to see the situation resolved positively and soon as possible with significant new investment on board that enables the club to progress whilst respecting its traditions and actively engaging with its supporters.

Royal Lady so let's hope if we get a new buyer that they'll be rather more keen to interact with the voice of the supporters.

I'm sure he'll have you on speed dial ASAP.

Ian Royal No point pissing our money away on RFC charitable donations until much much further down the lien. Anything we added would be meaningless at this stage. And I'd be just as happy not contributing to the pockets of the people who got us here.
The time to do it is if all the debts get wiped by a CVA and the club's on offer for peanuts. Even then that would almost certainly have to be at a much lower level than we're currently operating at. So it's probably a couple of Administrations away.

You can probably hire a hit man for £10k to remove that cost with payback in 2 weeks.... it would probably help with negotiations too and the new owner will recognise STAR as an organisation not to take lightly, question is, Do the STAR funds stretch that far? - Obviously I'm only joking and as I'm not a current STAR member that means I have no part to play in this should it actually happen.RoyalBlue The barsteward Samuelson is apparently being paid £20K per month to help run the club.
