Time to give Mr Vaughan a ring. Maybe he can get the old gang back together. Wrighty would be just the ticket the club needs to get out of here.

Hate to say it, but if all this stuff about Larsen is true then it raises questions about the level of due diligence that the club have put in. If he’s such a notorious (and unpopular) character around Blacon, surely some of our board would’ve been aware of him and his antics - and if so, how come we still decided to proceed with the deal? Even a quick Google search of his and the business’ names reveals a bunch of ‘shell’ companies, which in itself ought to raise some red flags. A bit concerned that it’s not the first time something like this has happened - remember that Steve Jones fella or whatever he was called? The fella always came across as a snake oil salesman - reminded me of that Peep Show storyline where Jez forges a certificate qualifying him to be a life coach. As Deesideblue rightly remarks, I don’t know who exactly people expect would be interested in buying us, if these are the sort of characters the club are attracting at the moment. You can add that Joe Sealy whopper to the list too, whose interest thankfully seemed to end as quickly as it began. [br No one has mentioned notorious with his name once. 🤣 He's clearly very good at marketing himself and his business - kudos for that - and even if people who know him dislike him, they wasn't going to stop him throwing his money at the club as it would have only benefited their club.

Does anyone know the figures to what it costs to name the ground for the year?

A few months back I posted about Will Donations and unfortunately nobody replied. People happily leave money in their wills to charities etc, why not the club you have supported all your life. The Club could float the idea with fans to see if there is an appetite for it. Could even team up with a local solicitor to offer will writing. Even if only 5 / 10% of your estate it would certainly help. I’d be cheering on the senior blues to keel over every game if this happened. What a bonkers idea. Don't see why it is a "bonkers idea" I have willed 10% of my estate to the club which at current value is circa 200k. That is a lot of CFU subscriptions! Hopefully they will have to wait some time for it though. Really don't understand your instant dismissal of the idea, is it any more rediculous that leaving it to the RSPCA or likewise?

It’s a bit grabby isn’t it? “Leave us your money when you die” Comes across as a bit predatory to me. Not judging you for doing it though, great gesture especially for that amount. Hope your kids are big fans of the club or they might be taking them to court like when eccentrics leave their millions to the local dogs home 😂

Based off the above that’s £20k for every dead pensioner. 10 of them and we get Willoughby back

it seems a shame to me as it was nice to see the stadium being named to get the Murphy stuff down from view and it’s disappointing that it doesn’t appear to have worked based on what has been posted on here, can’t recall seeing anything from the club over this Leap76 deal not working or monies defaulted etc? I wonder who paid for the Leap76 signage to be installed on the stadium or have we paid for this and it’s another bill outstanding?

Would have been easier to find a new stadium sponsor if we had been promoted to the National League, which could have easily been achievable if we had brought in a forward on loan as I had posted about numerous times 😳

Maybe there's an argument that we could have saved the money on Tollitt, but everyone was creaming themselves at the time about that. Was there a quality striker available on loan at that time of the season to bang in 10-15 goals? Calum was backed by the board to bring in Peers which would have come at a cost - maybe it was a simple case of Calum had used up his budget and the final bit was used on Tollitt?

I thought at the time it may have been something like this. It's probably not good taste for the club to be suggesting fans do this, as it might give bad publicity. I do think there's something in the idea though, but would probably need to be a word of mouth thing. I'd expect a few good supporters have considered this.

That 'donation' was a loan note, basically a donation but technically a loan repayable only if the club goes insolvent or is sold - not likely to have come from someone's estate

Leaving assets as part of someone's Will to the club is a really lovely gesture of goodwill. That is all it ever should be and it is the decision of said individual.
Nobody should be asking about Will donations...are you mad?

It's an excellent idea. Lots of charities offer a will writing service. Obviously it needs to be done with a bit of tact, but I'm sure there are plenty of fans out there who would like to leave a few bob to the club. I raised this several years ago with a former chairman of the club, but I doubt anything was ever done. I think there was a case a while back when someone bequeathed about £1m to a non league club (possibly Scarborough).
