LB I would be grateful if you could E Mail me with details of how I can tighten up the security or anybody else who knows how to do it.
ISP I can assure anybody100% that it wasn't posted by myself or anybody on my PC.
On the issue of buying tickets I inadvertently forgot to take in to account that all of the 10 games are not at home however I am still prepared to pay that same amount for 2 tickets that I will give to a young person who will be a supporter of the future. I will not shirk my responsibility and commitment.
This is not some high brained scheme to gain me recognition or similar but an effort to do my little bit towards bringing in a striker to help us stay up.
The whole crux of the matter is that if we sold out every seat we would gain sufficient extra income to be able to afford the wages of this striker and to assist this aim I will buy an extra 2 tickets but it is not worth me doing my bit if the club do not sign a striker and other supporters do not guarantee to buy the extra tickets.

Whoever posted this thread was on the same computer (or network) as the person who posted that thread on Ask the Club. If the ISP is the same, then that is a scientific FACT.
Dover said:BensGrandad. Am I right in the assumption, that we could all buy an extra ticket. If so I for one would think that not only the Inland Revenue could be interested, but also the football authorities.
Apart from the tax burden and VAT the club would incur, there must be some break of contract law.
What may be simpler is for a wealthy business person to give a one off gift to the club, so Dick and Martin can spend it in the correct manner. And forgive me in stating the bleeding obvious, but I have not heard of any of those dipping their hands in their voluptuous pockets.

All a bit pathetic really, to rubbish a fan who has the temerity to suggest a possible way out of our 'striker problem'
Slag him off as much as you want, but he's heart is in the right place. These are desperate times and somethings got to be done sooner rather than later, maybe even something a bit 'hairbrained'

Like 'What happened to the Playoff money'.
and how he was going to do a deal with Stanley (or something like that)

BensGrandad said:I have said on another thread that we need 220 people extra to buy a ticket to pay the wages of a proven goalscorer = £5k per week'
I will pledge to buy an extra ticket over and above my season ticket, which I have, for all of the remaining homes games to either use, give away, or even throw away to help finance bringing in a striker. I will send the money to the club later on in the week and every week thereafter or in 1 lump sum which ever they want provided.
1. The money is used solely for the paying of wages for a proven goalscorer not one for the future and no other purpose than for this striker.
2. 250 other people do likewise .

I wish people would stop slagging you off and just put a bit of serious thought into your suggestion.
Jim in the West said:Most of what BG says on here is, in my opinion, total crap....but I don't think it's great to pour scorn on his idea....it may not add up, but as well as goals, we need as many ideas as possible at the mo. If we all slag off new ideas then the genuine money-making scheme may not ever appear.
you really are a loser!Sandbag said:what a shit thread, why not just give the money to alive and kicking or forty notes funds?
Yorkie said:Would the fact that he is a friend of Greg Stanley change your opinion?
It doesn't infringe any laws.BensGrandad said:I am lost how does this infringe any laws if I phone the club and ask can I have 2 tickets for the game against PNE and also 2 for every home game until the end of season.
Lord Bracknell said:It doesn't infringe any laws.
However ...
Even allowing for the idea being a good one, in my opinion it simply won't deliver the money. My main objection is that it carries the risk that the Club will commit funds on the basis of what could easily be empty promises by supporters to stump up money in the future.
If the ploy doesn't work, and we have been relegated by Easter, is it credible that people will still be willing to dip into their pockets and buy extra tickets for the Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke games?
