Ideas to help the Club (2010 thread)
Comments

Just had a thought anyway. Even if you could use the pitch/ground surely the whole thing would have to be boarded out to protect it?0
-
No need to sink. There are still good ideas on here to help the club, just the concert is a non-starter.0

[quote][cite]Posted By: windscreen[/cite]SINK! No pitch hire or use after May 31st.[/quote]
Really no exceptions like a load of people raising money for a club that is in millions of debt.
Makes sense0 -
Soz that was not aimed at you i just presumed the club had said no
As for helping no real skills but willing to help with anything0 -
Charlton park? Or maryon wilson park? Could be fun. Our own party in the park.0
-
Don't forget you'll have to give a big chunk of ticket/t-shirt/CD sales to the government in VAT.
However, there is an exemption for fund raising and/or "cultural" events organised by charities or other not-for-profit organisations - but it's a b*stard to organise.0 -
Going back to the original idea of people just contributing the Wembley money to a central fund for the club, what about a World Cup sweepstake to encourage people to put the money in? It could be based on goals scored during the World Cup and could have handicaps for the likes of New Zealand and North Korea, so everyone has a chance of winning. Maybe £50 each with the chance to win £300 or £400. There could be more than one set of 32 players (if 100 people are interested, then have three groups of 32 each, hopefully more than 100 would be interested). There could also be the chance to pick your own team if you pay more.
It'd have to be organised quickly (and I can't do the dog work - I'm based in the midlands), but if the pricing and prizes are done properly it could encourage people who aren't interested in Charlton, as well as those people who would've gone to Wembley.
If the concert happens during the summer, I might be able to help. Depends on whether I'll be in London, really.0 -
I would be very willing to pay £50 to the club to help keep players0
-
OK how about the bloke who done the Soccer AM theme tune i could try and get him out of retiremnet??0
-
This idea like many before it will come to nothing.
Out of adversity, people rise. We need the club to be in serious and OBVIOUS trouble to rouse people from their beds Back to the Valley style.
Look at how popular the first Supporters Trust meetings were and look at what happened inthe end. People wont actually give money until there is an organised place to put it. And that takes time and effort and not message board chatter.0 - Sponsored links:

Somebody mentioned the possibility of "selling" the pitch. Effectively supporters get to pay for a square metre, or square yard of the pitch. Double prices for the Centre & Penalty spots and the Corners, at the end of the 2 seasons when the pitch is relayed you get you're square yard of pitch and the process starts again.0

Best suggestion so far. He would be a laugh, especially on a Charlton themed night.0 -
My eldest has worked at the club for 2 years and im sure if we could pull on the JD night she would work the bar for free, sure a few others would .
So teh wage bill would be little of nothing0 -

I think we should kidnap rachel riley and use the ransom to pay off yassin mewtokill.
As an Iranian I feel I am the best person to orchestrate this plan. Nothing can go wrong. Trust.0 -

After these acts why don't we finish with Steve Davis (famous Charlton fan) doing a question and answer session?? I bet these tickets would sell faster than the Swindon first leg play off allocation.0 - Sponsored links:

[cite]Posted By: windscreen[/cite]Harveys Trainer...I think youve missed the point and that you are being dismissive in assuming that this message board is the be all and end all point of communication. The message board planted the seed....I assure you that I've actually used the phone and sent quite a few emails today in connection with this thread. In addition quite a few CL's have contacted me with serious offers of help, from accountancy to picking up rubbish. I can only see three houses from my bedroom window, but I know that there is a whole wide world out there. Because time and effort is not visible on this thread doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
ps. You will not see messages on here sent by whisper.
You're right Windscreen, I did overlook the point that I am not a member of the clique and am therefore only going on what I can actually read, see, hear about this.0 -
I don't mean to be flippant and I wish you all the best in this, won't you need staging equipment, PA system, etc, etc0
-
what about outlay and financial risk?0
-
with a open space or park, my worry is people getting in free it would have to be a fenced area meaning more stewards0
-
so its not gonna be the Valley then? Would be interested to know what the cost vs 'profit' profile was0
-
[cite]Posted By: windscreen[/cite]Clique? Just because someone doesnt want the world and its mother to know they are offering theyre services is hardly a basis for calling it a "Clique" As for going on what you know, thats like saying I cant vote in a general election because I dont know absolutely everything about every party.
Its fairly easy to find out what a political party stands for. And if you sent them a message about it, they probably wouldn't reply stating that I can't can't comment because I'm not on the executive.
If you re-read your comment you basically told me I wasn't allowed an opinion because there was stuff going on behind the scenes that I couldn't possibly know about.
And as a former events organiser (of events upwards of 1,000 people) I wish you the best of luck with this and will buy Yassin out of his contract when you pull it off.0
