Post any ideas here what you may have to raise funds here..
I was thinking we could get people going around the concourses at half time during our next home fixture v Man City and also having a few collectors around the local pubs and maybe even try and put a few ideas forward to the club. Maybe the programme sellers and the sellers of 'The Oatcake' could also have a bucket or something to collect funds from buyers and passers by alike??

It can't take much for when we don't have a game on to just get up there and support them
It fairly local for a lot of stokies to get down there and gets the cash direct into the club

Stafford Rangers is not just another 'small club in a nothing division' that we "couldn't care less" about, it's where alot of our youngsters are sent out on loan to get much needed experience and to further development!

I have just checked fixtures for both us and SR. We have no game on 14th Feb and SR are at home to Stalybridge. KO 1500. We could go wearing Stoke shirts to show that one local club can help support another. Would also be very good press for us. ;D Anyone in??????? PS. I know the bar manager there so could ensure the powers that be know that Stokies come in peace. ;D |

Maybe admin would pin a post to promote it and if you have a word Stafford? |

Does anyone one here have any contacts at Radio Stoke or the Sentinel that may be able to help get the numbers up??
If it is to happen would be better to have a few hundred than just a few.

People use the "Credit Crunch" words far too easily.
If you take away the people that have been laid off, nearly everyone else should be better off now, what with taxes coming down, petrol coming down price wars at the supermarkets.
Get your hands in your pockets !!

this could work for all of us..Stafford Rangers get some revenue and publicity and we get to go to a match on Saturday (which are crap when we're not playing  ) |

What they need is a big name player to pull in the crowds, you know the kind of thing, played for Juventus, drives a fast car, got time on his hands. Any suggestions?

Theres a few runs around the place coming up. Maybe get the team, and anyone else willing to run and get sponsorship from it. Most people are willing to put a couple quid in. It builds up.

Some good fundraising ideas here, but will any funds raised provide a sustainable financial future for the club?
Ideally, a solution along similar lines as happened when Telford Utd were in danger of going to the wall, and they were resurrected as AFC Telford, managed by the fans. They had a fair bit of support from Telford & Wrekin Council who saw the importance to the local community of saving the club; would Stafford Borough Council be the same?

good point RJB! Didn't knowles post a thread on here a few weeks ago about a fans consortium attempting to buy the club (can't find it now)
If we can generate enough interest and publicity, perhaps this will 'plant a seed' in the minds of local businesses and maybe SBC...who knows!
