we are all concerned about our clubs finances, but if we could get 20,000 fans to donate £100 each, we would raise £2million which would cover the finances and losses until the end of the season.

And if we could manage to get 20,000 fans to put in £1,000 each, we would raise £20million, we could buy part of the ricoh and part of the club!!!

We haven't got 20,000 fans who'd be willing to donate £1 each though.

The thing is though, SISU is a bunch of rich men who like investing.

Yes, I love the club but if we all invest what will we get out of it? Will we get shares or will we just be bailing them out as they are too stubborn to invest.

It would be just like the tax payers bailing out the banks while they still get huge bonuses.

Maybe a shares sell off would work in this case to raise funds? Although it would mean being less secretive.

I would happily buy shares, but then would I be forced to hand them back for nothing in the future?

The club is worth nothing so perhaps we could do a lotetry from now until we eventually go into admin . Tickets at £10 each and we use however much has been raised as our offer to the administrator to buy the club. I'm sure whatever it is would be accepted if we were the only bidder. If we got to £1m and I think we could, we then do the draw on the pitch at half-time for five winners, who between them become the clubs board of directors and allow one of them to become Chairman.

I'm in - are you with me?

I've always said if I win Euro Millions, I'd give a big bunch of the winnings to the club anonymously

It depends though, you would have to write terms and conditions on what it goes on with proof it is spent on that.

The "board" may see it as a bonus for them

I wouldn't be anonymous though, I would to be able to give a team talk every week on behalf of the fans!

Why don't you just get 20000 fans to turn up to every home game, that would help.

No worries, I just thought some clean air and seeing normal women would help you all get through the summer

No offence but we buy tickets, shirts, merchandise etc...
A few million not going to help the cause, we need an “investor” willing to lose 30-50 million which is very doubtful. The clubs in that much trouble a few million will only help over a few months.

You need beer (and lots of it) to support CCFC these days.

The club needs money, short of a new investor, the best way to get money into the club is from the fans

I'm interested... but am concerned about the lack of nameplate I think this is going to have to come from investors to be honest as a lot of fans will feel like yourself.
