Hopefully the club will keep us posted on pledges. It'd be great if everyone could post their pledges on here. If we can get some momentum going, it might help persuade anyone who is undecided to join in.

It'd be great to hear from everyone.

Should we start a separate thread for pledges?

Perhaps we should, but it should be made clear this is not a competition, small amounts have as much weight as larger amounts.
Also that people should not be made to feel awkward if they can't afford such as £20/£25 per month.

I think donations are a private thing, I think it's up to the club to tell us how near we are in total.
If they do that we have got a handle on the size of the work left to do.
In other words, I can't see everyone posting on here what they have donated and so we will not be any the wiser. It's up to the club early next week to give us the lowdown on the first batch of donations, which after all will be the bulk unless something else is done.

I myself took my pledge form away from the meeting to save time, others might have done the same. I haven't decided what to give yet. Our lass says she would sooner give it to charity. She will be disappointed then. :lol:

I will give the form to Ray Green on Saturday. He will be selling Christmas Draw tickets on Donny market from about 10:30 for about three hours. I will get some of those as well.

If anyone is in Donny on Saturday go and buy some off him or Richard Tuby at one of his Newsagents.


You are correct it is not a competition. I will probably give £25 per month because i am in a position to do so. That does not mean that the person who can on give £2 is less important. I would say thanks for the £2.
I just thought if people could see on here that others were willing to commit to this it would spur them on also.

i'm willing to send over something in terms of a lump sum which would be more practical for me but it could only be about £100 or so working out at about over the season @ £2 per week
not much but if it would help in someway ?

Good points made by Rupert.

I can understand that some people might prefer not to say how much they're signing up for. I've no problem at all with that.

The more that are seen to be making a commitment, the better. It will encourage others to help out too.

It's great that people from further afield (like Brighton Don and Sanjunien) are joining in.

Does anyone know how I can apply - again a lump sum is easier for me - I've looked on the dons website but can't find anything - is there a link to somewhere I can apply

It's like booking a holiday, once you've decided on it you've got to pay for it and you invariably go.


agreed but it's ok until the travel company goes bust and isn't covered by ABTA then you are stuck up the creek without a paddle ! :THINK:


Is that a sensible analogy to the Paul Cooke situation?
A travel company going bust is outside the holiday maker's control.
The travel company is the middleman.
There is no middleman with Paul Cooke, we aren't paying an agent the money.

If we get the money together we get Paul Cooke (assuming he still wants to come, and even if he doesn't we still have our money).
If he comes, he will be an employee and subject to employment rights, like sick pay if he gets injured. He will be responsible for his performance and behaviour as well. It's a gamble we will have to take that he will remain fit. Perhaps the last bit is what you were alluding to.






War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Thank God I'm an atheist.
