Pledge Count

[Hooky]

can anyone with contacts at the club keep us upto date with the numbers pledged.

I phoned the pledge hotline : [phone].

obviosly it will take a while for postal pledges to come in, but it would be nice to see it racking up in a "blue peter" appeal stylee

I think this would be an excellent idea.

Obviously it would be very dissapointing if we failed to reach the target, but think the club should have little fear of this.
(Especially as the people counting these figures are the same people who counted the TS card sales (I jest).)

Seriously. Giving us a daily count/figure not only represents a little more openess from the club but also gives us a sense of having more interaction with the club and working together with them to reach a target.
(Don't you think?)

They could run the count in the Sentinel, thus promoting the campaign on a daily basis, for re-inforcement? Not promoting the sentinel but Stoke fans then spend twenty-whatever pence each day to keep up-to-date with the count. Our part is spreading the word and encouraging former attendees/fans to make the purchase.
Ultimately: huge feel-good factor from meeting the target - and more pride restored in our club!

"Wallopp! Everybody's 'appy!"

The only drawback being the public embarrasment if we failed but I think, and I quote, "we'd piss it!".

I see no reason why we shouldn't pass it IMHO

6500 bought at higher prices last season when we looked pretty dead in the water, with a buoyant out look and cheaper prices.......8,500 looks well with in realistic reach IMHO


count starts with 2.... from me n the lickle bruv

I would imagine a lot of people might return their pledge on the day of the Wigwam game.
It may be that it doesn't seem to be going too well until then??
