Does any team these days, at any level? Quite rare, but I get your point :-)

Re: Money. Has the Club bank account been set up yet so that direct debits can be set up? I think this would be a great source of money if we could publicise it to all our fans and the community.

Yes this was kicked off last week (after the Raunds meeting) and 3 signatories (from the committee) have filled in all the paperwork - we should have it early next week.

We'll be using it along with the relevant Marketing/Fundraising etc.. campaigns to go along with that. Yes, all sorts of scheme/donations are being looked at - including things like the old lottery, or just regular donations - but we still are working on formation of the club at this time, and all the things that make that a proper entity.

Dazzler, we have collected some monies for the new club at the meetings (buckets/ raffles/ shirt donations), can you confirm if this is being held by AFC R & D, or in the Trust account at present?

Yes all monies since the Pemberton centre meeting (bucket collection), Raunds Town Meeting (T-Shirt donations, Raffle, Bucket collection), and the Car Boots we did as well are with me, and will be transferred into the new bank account once it is setup early next week.

Monies from the meeting in the Kimberley Suite collection and Fans Pledges/Season Ticket stuff are with the Trust.

How much money was raised in the "save RDFC" campaign and how much will be used for AFC?... (sorry if its already been mentioned)

Too many Conforumisms will make their heads spin 8-)

Is there a shirt sponsor in place yet ??

There aren't even any shirts yet !! :lol:

The small team working on this are performing wonders at the moment, all will fit into place eventually, just getting a team onto the pitch kitted out will be a massive achievement.

Fair play, I'm not fully up to speed with progress

Having been unable to get to any of the meetings, where can you find
out all the AFC details
