Talk about charity beginning at home ...
Stopped such donations a long time ago. Its just putting good money after bad. Wouldn't even do it for Notts anymore. It's never ending, one financial mess to another. Its about time some of these clubs did go under. Football in this country needs a wake up call and unfortunately that wont happen until a few clubs go to the wall (one wont be enough).
Bury are buried. £8M required in a few weeks time.
£1.4m for Notts
Much the same as us, Bury have already been 'saved' once. They had a campaign back in the early 2000s to raise funds - you could donate to have your name on a seat. Mind you, mine is probably covered in pigeon **** now, and completely illegible...
Supporters are becoming weary of bailing out clubs nowadays - even their own - and I suspect if Notts get into deep trouble again (assuming they aren't already there of course) that it would be really difficult to raise anything like the £300k that was raised last time.
The cycle of spending too much and then flogging almost bankrupt clubs on to someone else willing to take a punt has to change; some so called big clubs will have to go out of business first though. And who knows what a new model of football ownership might look like.
