You knew in advance what the trust could purchase and donate to the club? I say 'could' because the more members we have, the more/better things we could do and the stronger voice we would have.

So, when all the memberships are up for renewal in February, Forever Reds could publish something, perhaps a totaliser, something graphic, showing what the trust could do when it reaches a certain number of members.

For example:

100 members — Dietary supplements for the Academy squad
150 members — Help towards travel/maintenance costs for the Red Hot Flames
200 members — Kit for the Academy squad
250 members — New tackle bags, balls, cones etc for local amateur teams
300 members — Sponsor another first team squad member promoted from the Academy
400 members — Physio equipment
500 members — Sponsor local amateur team
750 members — Extra piece of gym equipment
1000 members — Extra scholarship place for the Foundation/Academy

A speculative list, but you get the idea. Would something like this encourage you more to join up or renew your membership?

How many members needed before you get a shot a team selection

Not much. 2000 members gets us a few Uzis, a used tank and materials for molotov cocktails which can be used for a supporter-led coup.

This is eactly what is needed. I think the lack of members is down to the fact hardly anything is known about what forever reds do ( through no fault of the members ) just that it doesnt get much press. Also surely some free advertising space in the ground from the club isnt too much too ask perhaps a couple of billboards etc

lmao Chico

good idea chico..did anyone read the newsletter that was handed out at the game on friday..

Nice one Gaz, I'm in

Perhaps that's something the trust can factor in as a marketing spend if a certain number of members is reached.

FYI I was the one slurring his words.
