10/10 for enthusiasm but be prepared to be sh.t on from a great height.... a fate that has happened to all with great intentions previously.

Thats fair enough. Now that it's started and donations going in they may be more inclined to agree to it - it's no work for them. The best option would be for them to allow an email to be set up on the flyers domain, so that there could be communication on an official channel as to how to spend the funds/put them to the best use. I'm not on twitter anymore but I appreciate you spreading it. It's very much a group effort. If it comes to it and they're not willing to endorse a supporters fund, then I'll get in contact with anyone who's donated - it can be refunded or it can be put towards a one off thing like sponsoring something/travel next season. Dunno if it will make any difference but I put a link on Twitter and tagged Val McDermid in the tweet and she just retweeted it. Hopefully some of her followers show an interest.

Well done Perfectnightmare! Will put some money in later today.
Just need to get the word out. Will text round my group. I'm not on social media but there are a few key ones that if they were to re-tweet it would make a big help. Laura that does the game updates better than any service in the league, Fife Free Press Ed and Ali McLaren would really help in both giving this exposure to far more as well as credence. Could anyone contact them please?

Am I right in thinking Darrian Wilson is ffp? It got to him via one of the groups and he said he's working on something too. I know someone has reached out to Ali who's going to take it to the club too

Would be interesting to see if the FFP would make enquires as to why perfect nightmares approaches have been ignored in respect of the crowd funding initiative. I would also hope that the FFP would give this venture some positive publicity to help get as many people as possible involved. The Rovers initiative has had lots of decent publicity from the paper so no reason that if they are given the information about this crowd funding that it should be ignored. Both the editor and sports editor email address feature in the FFP each week.

Update for today. Spoke to the sports editor who is going to write an article and get some publicity going. Baby steps but making progress!

The Flyers will completely miss the boat if things "behind the scenes" don't move a little faster. The Rovers have done well out of this and much better than a lot of clubs who started a few days later. They'll have hit 50k through various sources by the end of the week and the Flyers aren't even out of bed.
