True. But as i say this could lead to better things. If we can get it right on the pitch with the bit of extra finance hopefully we will get the extra bums on seats etc.

It could lead to better things.
If the Paul Cooke thing works out it should.

Life isn't always fair and some people will take a free ride on the back of other people's efforts. Those of us who want to try to do a little bit extra shouldn't be put off doing so because not everyone will contribute. If you can't contribute a cash payment, then please encourage your friends and work mates to come down and support the club.

It's all a bit of a catch 22 really. Hopefully attendances will increase if we're successful and that will lead to a bigger upturn in fortunes for the club. Giving the club a helping hand like we're all presently trying to do is the best way forward at the moment.

I hope the Squad Builder is a permanent way of helping the club to bring in players that are a little bit better than we would otherwise have been able to afford.

I would urge all the good folk of Donny to get involved and try and help us all to build a team we can be proud of.

One thing that i came away from the meeting feeling good about is that Carl and John were both saying how well the club is being run off the field,and that both of them wants Paul Cooke in the blue and gold next season, but will not break their player payment cap that they have set themselves.
We've seen it happen too many times before when we have tried to get a quick fix by paying big money to players and let ourselves in the red.

nah mate pounds sterling of course !



didn't want to upset Jackies' accounting system ...

I am goin to set up a standing order thru my internet banking not gonna be alot as cnt really afford much but I want to contribute in bringing Paul Cooke to the Dons, £5 is all I can afford at this moment in time

Every bit helps.

He's just bought one of Paul Cooke's toes.


I'll get an armpit or worse with my luck..

according to ray green we just about got the £400 a month pledged ,i wont be happy till we actualy got him signed, more pledges still to come

A way to go yet then, lots hope mandates are in the Christmas post.

I only have access to a computer at work and they don't like us printing off personal stuff so i am waiting for the forms to come out in the post. I'm sure many others will get around to it in the next week or so.

We need around four times this to secure the total amount needed - something like £400 per week (£1600 per month).

There's still a very long way to go.

Is it possible to set a standing order up for people such as myself that only has access to the Internet through their mobile ( I know unheard of!! Don't worry I do have electric and gas down here!! ) and uses internet banking as printing is not really possible!

I'll up mine to 20 then, I'll just cut back on my model railway purchases!!

If you e-mail Ray or Jackie at the club they will send you the form in the post.

I was hoping the Dons would have had automated payment processing set up on the website, rather than having to fill in forms. People without printers have got a spot of bother!

Brighton Dons fan: I'd give the club a ring and explain the situation. They should be able to take your details over the phone, hopefully.

You can contact the club on 01302 765888.

I shall do that right now!

only trouble being down here is when something like this happens! It's great any other time getting questioned about the shirt I'm wearing! I have had a couple say is it the new Wimbledon shirt seen as it has the dons on the back!!! Or there is the rugby union fans but i won't lower myself to their level!!!
Sorry gone OT!!

Brighton Don: You deserve a medal mate!

You'll be accused of being an MK Dons fan next!

Thanks for your support.

Not a chance! I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan for my sins!!!! So I'll gladly accept the medal

derrrr,sorry i am sure ray said we got between £300 & £400 per WEEK pledged, hope that is the case

Those two bits contradict.
Putting the THE in implies we are hitting the target.
As in we have just about got the money.
Putting we have just about got £400 per month is also very clear.
Putting together is not clear.
Putting £400 per MONTH implies we are not.
Which is it?????????
If he said we have just about got the £400 per week needed .... cushty.


To get £400 a month 20 people would need to average £20 a month. That seems a pitifully small number of people giving.
Let's say the average is £10 per month ... that is 40 people.
Still a pitifully small number of people.

That implies that not everyone at the meeting pledged, only half of them or less in fact.
Yet to a person they put their hands up wanting Paul Cooke!
WTF???!!!

Yes I know there are more pledges to come.
Mine for a start.



Perhaps half took their pledge form away.
Even if they did we will still be only half way to the target!

Spoke to Ray Green this afternoon ...

To clarify, the Club currently has pledges in the region of [size=140£420 per MONTH [/sizeplus some pledges of one-off payments ... still SOME WAY to go.
