Loads of options here, including preordering centenary shirts, matchday experiences, have your name on your seat and lifetime season tickets

Worrying times but I think that's an amazing idea from the club, exactly what we've all been asking for on here

[redrobo]

Excellent idea and something that as many of us can should support.

[BerlinWaller]

A great out idea, good to see the club thinking outside of the box. Some positive words about being in a better position than most clubs.

Brilliant idea. Does anyone know when we can see the design for the centenary shirt?

[Wild Bill]

Some good ideas on here. I am sure many will order their shirts etc. Just need X4 fans to buy lifetime season tickets and the target is hit

Keep an eye on the club website and crowdfunder page over the next few days.

wonder if it’s viable to get our Kitchen open to do deliveries with Food(Pies) even Beer?

i’d rather give my money to the Club than others who have jumped on this like Kennedy’s Butchers, and Atkinsons Fish & Chips who are doing this type of service, and it looks like this virus crap is going to go on for a good while yet.

Would love to order the centenary shirt on the crowdfunder, but simply cold not afford to donate £43 and then pay for the shirt. Explanation given adjacent to ' Special four person match day experience ' !

The £43 ‘donation’ gets you the shirt of your choice for the standard retail price, there’s not an additional payment required for the shirt. You’re just able to order the exact size and sleeve format you want by pre-ordering through the crowdfunder.

Nearly £17,000 now, just a few more quid to target

[Westgate Wanderer]

Nearly there! A few more hands in pockets needed! COYS

pity there’s not more merchandise to buy, theres only the football shirts and hospitality packages and if your a season ticket holder in C & D sections you can get into the Posh Bar anyway.

a lot like the training gear, like bench coats, body warmers, polo shirts etc what could take us to 25k

Some nice Centenary Car Stickers would also sell like hot cakes.

I'd like to think that the club would be bringing out centenary merchandise in addition to the other items that they usually stock anyway, regardless of the campaign.

I think the crowdfunding initiative in general is a great idea, fair play to the club and in particular the commercial manager for trying something new - and at nearly £19k already it is working...…. but..... as most of the pledges so far are to pre-order shirts, is this really additional income for the club?

Its great for cashflow now, but unless people are buying shirts that ordinarily wouldn't have done so, when you look at the overall picture a large portion of the proceeds from this appeal will not represent additional funds for the club in the long-term IMO.
