I get that but in reality there has been about 25 games or so without fans, not 10 years worth.

We're a club that turnover a couple of million a year. In our last years accounts we made a profit of around 900k (the first profit we've made in years). This definitely eases financial pressure for a couple of years but sadly not 10. In my eyes as a fan owned club, we still have to still do our bit to help ease that burden.

Any chance to add PayPal as a payment....makes things a lot easier. I will still donate a fiver if you cant but will wait a couple days. Like posters have already mentioned on here we benefited from fans all across the world when we were nearly down & out let's hope our small contributions help you out. Well done to The Geordies too for contributing so much on your last fund raising effort.....good luck*
* let us win the footie game though eh?
Done

I'm afraid it gives me no option regarding payment types. So it must just be a crowdfunder thing that they don't accept paypal.
I agree with your sentiment though, that all donations at a club of our level are vital.

It's funny what people can read into things when they want to, in times like these I won't be giving to any football teams, there is more to life than football right now. Of course, I would not like any club to go pop (barring Pompey), but there are a zillion clubs struggling at the moment.
But my cash goes in the Cancer, Dementia and any local charities at present.
Has anyone asked Sir Lewis Hamilton, I have heard he has a very quid knocking about
We will put you down as a maybe
That would be fence and I think you probably know fences are not my thing.

We've just hit the £3000 mark.
I just want to say a massive thanks to all the Brighton fans. You've donated enormously and may have even outnumbered our own fans. We hit £3070 in 2 weeks for our Newcastle game, so to have done over 3k in 24 hours is incredible.
You're a credit to your club.

Well yes but that doesn't mean they don't need to do anything for 10 years. I'm sure they have ambitions of rising higher up the pyramid for example (don't get too high though its not all its cracked up to be!). Plus I'm sure when that statement was made I'm sure they weren't anticipating what is looking likely to be a year with little to no money through the gate.
I'm going to make some assumptions here which may be massively wrong but I expect a lot of Newport's support are season ticket holders and that revenue probably comes in throughout the summer. I'm guessing cup games aren't included so therefore everyone through the gate would have been a paying punter. We are a premier league club albeit not a very glamorous one so you'd think it would be close to if not a full house. That is a fair chunk of dough when think about missed gate revenue, food and drink, programme sales, advertising etc etc.
Good luck to em I say.

We think ourselves we have an ' entitled ' percentage of fans who have delusions of grandeur but we also have a large following from the difficult time at our club who have experienced the real lows of following a club..skint, homeless and bottom of the league. We know what it is like and lots of fans from across the world helped us......we have a big debt to pay and its nice to help in a small way other clubs in difficulty. Lets hope the money keeps rolling in for you.
WHOA there, Jamie. Just hang right on.
You can cut out that stupid nonsense right now.
We have had it explained to us very clearly, that neither Newport, nor indeed the Albion, played ANY part in the development of young Ben White, who was in fact a league two clogger, with two left feet, before Saint Marcelo Bielsa turned him into Bobby Moore, with one magical wave of his wand.

Not bad for a club who some of your fans thought wasn’t ‘glamorous’ enough when we were drawn against you in the FA Cup.
