Myself and Xlex have had a few ideas, that are on Previous threads, but the general jist below.......
1) Supporters Trust
Supporters pay €5 a week by direct debit into a Supporters Trust for capital projects...
Even if we got 150 people to contribute a fiver a week to a supporters trust only (i.e. no season ticket or additional benefits), that would raise EUR39,000 per annum. I don't think it would be unrealistic to hope for 250-300, which would be EUR65-78k per year, or EUR325-390k over 5 years. Lets be honest, a fiver these days is barely a pint in Dublin and not even a pack of smokes.....
Money should be used for capital projects only... e.g. Bar; Press Facilities; Covered Camera Position; Roofs for the ground; astro pitches etc
Members of the trust elect a committee to look after the cheque book - the supporters would run it, so as to control the money and ensure that it wasn't wasted on day to day expenditure...
2) Patrons Club
