Chico, thanks for the summary - you've made it very clear to all (mind you there's none so blind as them as won't see!)



I've promised to donate via option 1 - and I appreciate it may be lost - What would be most helpful would be some form of statement from the RFL about these alleged investors, in particular what is their attitude towards a supporters trust, especially one which may well have paid off the winding up order and left them something to invest in!!

I hope that is not aimed specifically at me, there is enough backbiting and inane comments on here at present.

I would happily give my time to help the formation of a new club.

As for the options I will attend the Swinton game and any fund raising events that are held.

Not technically true. If you donate to FR your money will go towards paying off the current regimes 60k WuP bill exactly the same as option 1 only difference is, it's via another channel, allowing Mr Salford to trade again.



Having a say in where the money goes means nothing if your all for regime change due to the overwhelming majority of the votes will be trying to save Wilkys bacon.



And I see Bill Taylor with his snide remarks the other day backing The Bradshaws up, is this the same Bill Taylor in charge of Urban Vision at one point. Well well well talk about urining in the same pot.



Happy New Year folks get them donations in Mr Salford is waiting for his WUP to be paid. #mugs

Another flippant not needed comment.

A supporters trust

Christ we cant even act decently on the forum !!

It wasn't aimed at specific people.







No. There are two different pots here. Any money donated to the Trust can't be used to pay off another company's debt. It needs to be accounted for properly; a good cause in effect. That's why, I assume, the Foundation Appeal has been set up to circumnavigate that legislation for those that want to go down that route.

I have a question.



If we as [urlFANS[/url (I underline that as some seem to struggle with the concept of being a fan) raise the £60k and pay off the WUP but the club still goes to the wall will the people who would benefit most from the club going to the wall (IE the new owners) offer FR some form of debenture to show good faith for the fans efforts?



I know that this forum is monitored by the people who make the decisions and some form of gesture if this scenario were to transpire would be a wonderful indication that the fans voice is going to be heard and taken into account.



Or they could just pay Shirley more to keep Theo well fed on Lobster Thermidore and Verve Cliquot

I think a lot of people look to 12 months at Bradford Bulls and see £500 going the way of debts.

So what is the payoff?



The forever reds does seam the more reasonable route to go for those fans who do not wish to end up just paying off debts to then see the club fold anyway because of further outstanding liabilities.



However if one of the fund raising activities is a game I would treat that as slightly different to just donating money. If the money from a game goes to paying off debts, if it was my club in the mire, whilst the money may end up just paying off debts at the very least you get a game out of it, it's not like donating with no return.



As an outsider I would not wish it on any set of fans, but I can also understand the suspicions about donating money into a black hole.

It'd be an improvement on the diet of fray bentos pies, oven chips and processed peas with bisto gravy she gives him nowadays

Hey!! Don't knock it

he's not got that six pack & muscles eating that pasta & salad garbage

Apologies if I've missed something whilst skipping through the turd on here, but has the online donation been sorted yet? Either PayPal or bank details for a transfer? If I leave it to writing a cheque I'll never sort it...

GT, hoping to have details for the account to set up the online donations before w/end. Will post on media sites as soon as I know, cheers
