Not sure if this is worth a thought or if someone has suggested already?
Perhaps a way of showing our support of Sandgaard and the club could be in buying a season ticket, if you can afford to and even if we don’t get to see a game this season, not asking for a refund or credit for when we can?
Just a thought, anyone else have any ideas? Or I suppose perhaps we could just set up a fund to pay the club directly?
If already suggested elsewhere then please delete and point me in the right direction.

Nice sentiment, but the money would be better served on something else imho. Plenty of needy causes out there.
We purchased season tickets for ourselves, our daughter and 2 eldest grandkids at a total of nearly £1,700.....
Surely you wouldn't expect this large sum to be donated to our club, however much we love it !
In addition we are now spending £10 p.w to watch the current matches via VP.
IF we aren't allowed to attend any games at The Valley this season, our payments will be rolled over for next time.
I'll be re-investing that back into the club on stream passes, new shirts, club shop merchandise etc (think we're allowed to spend it in the club shop?) rather than claiming a refund as I did last season.
"Season-ticket holders can use money owed to them as CAFC Cash for home games but not away games. CAFC Cash owed to full season-ticket holders for the club's game against Doncaster Rovers has been loaded into their ticketing account. CAFC Cash owed to full season ticket holders and 22-game season-ticket holders for games in October will be loaded into their accounts on Monday."
Can't be used for the away games, unlike at the end of last season, presumably because proceeds from the first 500 away sales go to the home side.
Yes, his stinkingly rich but he's taken on the club that was in real financial trouble and he'll not get the revenue back for sometime from gate receipts etc.
This isn't about giving it to him directly it's about supporting the club and showing our appreciation for him basically saving us from the knackers yard. If he hadn't stepped in, then what honestly was there as an alternative?
I'm not suggesting we all do it and those who have forked out a lot, like @Fanny Fanackapan it may not be viable but for me as a single season ticket holder the burden is not as great.
It was just a thought.
It's just that we're in the middle of the deepest recession ever known, the virus is on it's way back, people are losing their jobs all over the place and government borrowing is through the roof trying to prop the country up - which isn't going to last forever.
If people have got enough disposable cash to throw around then good luck to them. I was just suggesting that there are possible more needy causes to support.
But perhaps the shirt sponsorship idea is a nice happy medium?
That makes sense.
However, even paying for our own 2 season tickets isn't cheap and there's a huge difference between those and sharing a shirt sponsorship.
Another option could be a year's VG subscription if you don't already have one.
By doing this you have the chance of winning some cash at the same time as supporting the Academy which I believe will be close to Thomas's heart.
AND you're more likely to obtain a ticket for that Premier League away Cup game when it comes around.....
I could only find the tenner option this morning for the Lincoln game
