    It can't be that much only a few hundred at most. The new supporters trust could do fund raisers and pay the difference after all this is what the trust should be about getting Rovers back to the premier league. It would be a shame to lose him on some so small

    A few hundred euro doesn't sound much but it takes some gathering. Selling tickets or whatever fundraiser you have in mind would need dedicated supporters to offer their time to help out. Are there enough dedicated supporters amoung us to help realise our wish to get Rovers back to the premier division. It's alright saying what we think the new trust concept is about but realistically it's down to the us, the supporters, to make it work.

    A question to the steering committee of the trust

    Have many supporters come back with offers of help?
    Has many, if any, supporters filled in the application forms and returned same?

    What is set up is the 400 Club. I recently received a newsletter from them, and I get the impression that quite an amount of the people in the 400 Club last season have not renewed their membership. After raising 75K towards Rovers last season, and a new manager on board, I fail to understand why people who call themselves supporters would not continue to fund this excellent fundraiser,for something like 5 euro a week.
    Also there is the Lotto, could supporters not sell at least one book per week each? If Conner O'Grady does not sign, its nobodys fault only ours, cos we dont get up of our asre and do something about it. But we'll moan and groan afterwards.

    I thought everyone who was in the 400 last year got back on board. If it wasnt fully subscribed then I'm sure the club would have advertised the fact or else why havent they. Does the newsletter detail what the money is spent on?
    I think it was last week that I received the newsletter, I dont have it at hand but I will look it up this evening and post tomorrow. It outlined all money raised and spent last season. There was a mention of membership falling away this year.and if you did'nt get the newsletter, then maybe it's not suprising. I know I'd feel ****ed off.
    I also am a shareholder, I received notice of the AGM, again it was early last week or even the week before.
