Here’s an example of how this kind of fund works at other clubs. Dumbarton FC recently signed Adam Frizzell on loan thanks to the extra money raised by their supporters on the Managers Fund scheme.

Evening All, another positive meeting tonight and an increase in numbers.
Firstly to thank all that gave up their time and came along.
The general consensus was pretty much the same as last week which I also believe to be a positive as it shows that everyone has been in agreement with the majority of points, ideas and questions and we are on the same song sheet.
Next steps
* It was agreed that next steps would now be when I can get in and meet with the board and discuss the Tanner Fund, express our views and of course listen to what the board have also for us. In both meetings it has also been agreed that it made sense to focus with the fund looking to contribute for the start of 20/21 season. This allows us to start getting the direct debits and fundraising cash in and allows us to build a ‘projected funds’ that we should be able to forecast with.
* This week we will have leaflets printed out with Tanner Fund information and direct debit info for distribution prior to the Dundee Utd game. This it is hoped will further push the name of the fund.
* A positive start is what was needed, and I believe a positive start is what we’ve got which is brilliant. A handful of direct debuts have now already been set up, now we need to push on.
* Committee Members. Between the two meetings it has been agreed that ideally we would like the following positions: Chairman / Vice Chair / Treasurer / Secretary / Chief Fundraiser / Social Media ) / 2 General Committee Members. If any member wishes to put themselves forward for any of the above positions please pm the Fund and we can push out there for vote. I believe that forming a committee is key for next steps so please do step forward
I will get the minutes sorted over the next couple of days and again if anyone likes a copy please also PM with your email address.
Thanks again folks and let’s get the Tanners flowing!

Above is from Richie Nicoll at last nights meeting
Spoke to a gentleman yesterday who’s already started to make a monthly contribution but it sounds like many others are waiting for some sort of statement from the Board of Directors before making any commitment.
I would also like to hear their take on the Tanner Fund before I make a decision. It’s extremely important they back it if it’s to be a success like it’s is at other clubs throughout Scotland.
The football club needs to work closely with the Tanner Fund people just like BOD’s do at other clubs. I’ll make my final decision once Queens have showed their cards.
If it can work fine elsewhere then why not here ?
Yes this is why I am currently holding off as I too am waiting for the club's official view point on this and precisely how it will be integrated into a transfer fund exclusively. I do not just want this money to go straight to the players wages as I already contribute enough via season ticket, lotteries and through shareholding as it stands.

Two slightly different schemes but just shows you the power of the supporter.
