essex canary 496 Posted February 23, 2021 Great to see whatever contributions people feel they can afford to make at these challenging times The Ā£300 does however come with a pledge to be able to watch some games though now predominantly deferred to next season. Could give some football watching opportunities to NCFC fans who may still face restrictions even next season and KL have said they need Ā£100,000 this season.

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted February 27, 2021 Best of luck to them with raising the money they need. But quite a few clubs at that level (League Two downwards) seem to be offering equity, and that's what I'd be wanting in return for cash as somebody who has no interest in attending King's Lynn games.Ā Grimsby Town are issuing shares in Ā£100 blocks. I know of four in the National League and several in Scotland doing the same.Ā Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
