How much investment per head?

We know neither the numbers nor the investment per head. However, I - and I expect others - are happy to invest a few hundred even if turns tits up.



Oh, and I'm not a season ticket holder, so I don't think the 859 figure is any kind of maximum level of support. There are thousands of disaffected Broncos who have attended a game or two in London in the past 5 years and there lies the key.

Could I be Vice President for Sanitation and Bog Rolls, got a lotta experience watching Crap over the years.

Talking it as well

Would be interested in contributing if anything came of this

As I said before I'm really heartened by the positive attitude of most people on this thread. Talk to people at the game tonight about it and see what reaction you get. I'll get the game over first then resurrect the website [urlhttp://rllist.wordpress.com/[/url and post some initial thoughts on what I think the Trust could achieve, and a method for making a pledge.

If we get 5 pledges then its dead, but if we can gain some momentum then who knows? If it shows promise perhaps we can hold a meeting around the Huddersfield home game. The hook line I came up with was "£1,000 a year from a 1,000 people" - lets see how we go and pledge what you can.

This is a good initiative, but can't we wait until the present incumbents have walked away?

Pledges mean power. I would think it would be best for an orderly handover to whatever succeeds David Hughes' reign; if this is a goer we need to be in position.

I genuinely can't see you getting 1000 people to pledge £1000 each. £200-250 is sensible for the average fan.

OK. I'll be up for it.

Happy to get involved if we have a clear understanding of exactly what it is we are trying to achieve.



Back of a beer-mat plans are all well and good, but in reality, if we were to make an effort to Engage DH and the RFL I a meaningful discussion about taking over all, or even some of the responsibility, then a clear and documented plan and process need to be devised.



Keen to hear feedback from any who attended the match tonight as to what was discussed.

I'd strongly recommend not doing that. One reason the Shots Trust bid fell to bits was they all but had to start from zero the day the club went into admin and they didn't have the necessary time.



If, and it is a huge if, this looks viable a Trust could put forward its vision this winter and ask for initial donation, possible putting most into an escrow account? Next season could see another appeal. Build up a cash base and you'll be in a much better position if suddenly needed to run the club.



I doubt the club will generate 1000 donating £1000. Key donors would be needed. Realistically there us more chance of funding a Championship outfit than a SL one. Both may well prove beyond us, remember Shots Trust only got to £82k. What is certain is that we won't be in any position to assist in keeping the club alive if no-one tries. Also if there are other investors out there a motivated fan base willing to share sine of the financial burden might just tip the balance and bring them out of the woodwork.

OK. [urlhttp://rllist.wordpress.com[/urlWebsite is updated and ready for pledges! Will be developing a quick "Manifesto" over the next few days, and hope to kick off a publicity drive. Spread the word!
