I’ve recently had a conversation with a board member and we’ve discussed the possibility of running something similar to a 100 club e.g people paying a £1 a week for 1 ticket and splitting the money raised between prize money and funds towards the playing budget. Do people feel this is a better idea than just trying to raise funds by fans donating on a regular basis?

The most obvious advantage to doing a prize draw is that a lot more people may be tempted to get involved thus potentially raising more for the squad!

Any thoughts or feedback would be very helpful!?
I would get behind something like this, and know others would do the same. The 100 Club idea is more likely to attract interest that a straight up monthly donation in my opinion, so I'd be more than happy with that.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....
