I also helped trying to get a bank account closed which was originally a joint venture between D4L and the Club.
We had great difficulty trying to get the account closed and in the end D4L gave up the rights to the balance of the account and sent a letter to John Nelms advising him that the bank account now belonged to the club.
I do not know if the Club have closed the account or not as we never received a reply from Nelms thanking us for handing over the balance of the account to DFC.
I also tried to promote using Easysearch as a search engine and Easyfundraising to raise funds for Dee4life.
One person completing 10 searches using Dee4life.easysearch.org.uk as their search engine every day for a year would raise £18.25 for Dee4life. One hundred people would raise £1825. One thousand people would raise £18,250 Ten thousand people would raise £182,500 per annum.
After five years a total of £912,500 would be raised which could pay for the £750,000 cost of buying back Dens Park with the remaining £162,500 being kept for future repairs and improvements.
.
So, nothing worthwhile then? £150 annual savings but the loss of an undisclosed amount of cash in a dormant bank account. Let's not even consider your pie in the sky plan to buy back Dens via some search engine that nobody's ever going to use.

At least you answered BP33's question without deflecting - what does BP33 have that I don't?
