A Step Closer To Home

The last two week have seen some significant developments at the club, not least the change of ownership and the arrival of new co-owners Oliver Ash and Terry Casey. They have set out their commitment to Bring The Stones Home and stated they aim this to happen by the end of 2011. They are now in the process of putting together the business plan for this as well as starting the process of attracting the much needed investment that will be needed to achieve that ambition.

So where does our campaign fit in? What it certainly DOES NOT mean is that we ned to stop our fundraising efforts. We need to be showing to any potential investor that our supporters are willing to back the club and are willing to do their bit in the raising of monies for the new ground. We will no doubt get more details from the club when they have completed their business plan, but on thing is for sure, the more we can raise as supporters the more we can make sure this dream happens.

Meanwhile, fundraising efforts continue and we had the successful race night last month that raised a superb total of £391. You will also see on the front page that you can now raise funds from just your day to day online purchases. A simple scheme whereby the campaign will raise money based the commission raised on sales through the internet, be it through Ebay or Amazon, or by renewing your insurance policies or changing energy supplier. So please take a moment to register then next time you buy online, make sure you use this page to ensure the campaign gets this valuable commission. So far it's raised £19, but if you think that the campaign will receive £45 in commission if a supporter uses it to switch car insurance, you can see the potential of 200 fans all changed their policy through this site, and who knows you may even save yourself a few quid too!

Finally, don't forget to keep pushing the Virtual Stadium, we recently sold our 300th seat and attracted a new sponsor, so in total we are nearing £4000 from just this scheme alone.
