Build Bignot’s Budget Bucket Collection

I'm still waiting to hear what it was spent on. They took your money and that was the end of it. Would be great for the club to be able to say 'You raised this much and this is who we brought in....' It's basic common sense marketing.

Not sure it's wise to invite fans to empty their pockets of loose change tomorrow night!

If  Bignots Budget Bucket Collection means the money will go towards paying him off, count me in.

The whole concept just doesn't work, I don't think. It just makes people more and more resentful that their money isn't being well spent. It pushes the budget beyond what we naturally take in, meaning we need to raise at least the same again next season just to have the same budget, and the less reward people feel their getting for their donation, the less likely they are to donate again, as the very poor takings from this year's efforts show.

Not sustainable, in short.

No thanks not to throw away on players from Crewe who are not good enough where was he today waste of a squad builder

I said unless things change. How it is now is as bad as Barnes, Gutterman, mad Terry and SV. Hopefully something will change, but I don't know what. I'm hurting and I coming on here to moan alleviates some of that pain.

It's the Whitchurch semi-pro team. They used to play in a Shropshire amateur league, but applied to join the NWCL1 (step 6) at the beginning of 2 seasons ago. They reached the play-offs last season, but lost in S/F. Ben Mills plays for them. Their ground was created on Alport Farm, hence their name. I went to a game last season against City of LiverpooL FC in which they had a crowd of 643 (very good for that level). They're doing ok this season too.

It's called "chat". I thought that's what this board was supposed to be about.

Bignot has wasted any money he's had already - and we still don't know how much the previous collection raised or where it went. If anybody puts money into this, they'd be throwing it away!
