Maybe this link could be a link/sticky on here, the bounce and official site.
When the management fund was initially debated (folks may recall the calls to raise funds to get Sparky - only £150k apparently :)) it became clear to me that there was a number of ways to invest in the club - STs, Hibernians, Stones, the Lotto, kicks for kids. We now have another vehicle to more directly invest in he club. There was the apparent demand then there seems to be the apparent demand now. It for whatever reason it didn’t really materialise then and it would seem to have peaked/plateaued for now?
Comparison with Hearts whilst understandable differs in circumstance but why not use it as a motivator to do better - I think we all aspired to that.
But what if the simple fact is we have a different profile of support that given their circumstances as such they cannot afford to contribute more? Maybe a higher percentage of the support are at periods in their lives when they have to tighten the belt (kids/caring duties - as there are more and more cuts to services - families are having to fund more or rely on charities to for example support kids on the autistic spectrum)
So whilst on one hand the answer may seem simple - market more, raise awareness, add in link/option at purchase if season ticket - but it could
be more complex. The only way to see is give it a go.
But if it doesn’t work out In great volumes of donations please don’t throw “failure” around. In the small glimpses I’ve seen through early days of
LWT I got a sense of just how much effort folks need to put in to get things off the ground. Were all in it for the same reason - love of the club. Whilst there’s always room to improve let’s work with the organisers - all to easy to sit on the sidelines and. criticise.
