    Now is the time for folk to please contact me in private for refunds, including those who wish to donate to any charity of their choice - as the vast majority of contributors have elected to split between Darby's charity and the Burns Unit, any unclaimed donations will go there - so if this is your choice, no further action is required!

    I would appreciate if everybody could respect each individuals choice :)

    Well done all, we got what we needed!

    I'm assuming the dissent around the ownership of the football club is now at an end?

    I'm happy with the outcome of today, so gratefully ask that monies are shared equally behind the Burns Unit and Stephen Darby charity MND

    It's a waiting game IMO.
    If he goes I'd like my donation to go to the Burns Unit.
    Well done to the other 63 contributors, the detractors can all Feck off.

    I think the job is only half done

    Book the fly over for the next available home match

    Let's drive this nail in and drive EDIN OUT

    Change the banner to EDIN OUT NOW

    As a contributor, I'd hate to see the money wasted on a fly by, when it could go to charity, providing it is not needed for its primary purpose.

    The noises emanating from Valley Parade seem to suggest that Edin's departure will be sooner, rather than later; nevertheless, like others, I won't completely believe it until it is officially confirmed.

    Therefore, if it were down to me, I would:
    1. Sit on the money a bit longer; hopefully, it won't be long before we see the fly by is no longer required;
    2. Propose a 50/50 split donation to the Burns Unit / MND, subject to 3 below;
    3. Offer a refund to those who want it (hopefully, everyone will agree to donate the money).

    I'd say keep hold of the money until he has left these shores. Then split between both charities.
    Thanks to @JonButterfield@JonButterfield and @Nick_W for your efforts in setting the flyover up.

    Hi Jon, I'll echo the above, thanks for your efforts. Personally, I think we should wait until it been confirmed that the tyrant has gone completely, then and only then, the funds should be split between Stephen Darbys MND foundation and the Burns Unit. Cheers

    As a contributor I request that the money is kept until Rahic is gone.
    After which perhaps a 50 - 50 split between the Burns unit and MND of any monies not reimbursed to contributors.

    The threat of the fly over and the media attention it brought certainly helped to raise awareness of how unhappy our fans were. This certainly contributed to the return of Julian Rhodes and Stefan Rupp becoming concerned to the point of removing Edin Rahic from his post. Therefore, the fact that the fly over took place or not is irrelevant.

    Well done in at least having contributed to saving our club from what was certain demise. Relegation or not, optimism has returned.

    Split my funds equally between the charities, it will benefit them and we have what we wanted. Win, Win!!

    @JonButterfield@JonButterfield I recieved the following email from Wayne this morning who is on a temporary ban.

    Hi Dave

    Can you please copy and paste the attached from me into the “Flyover Refund Received in Full” thread for me.
    The purpose of the flyover was to raise awareness of how unhappy fans were. This publicity, together with fans boycotting, played a key role and Rupp removing Rahic. As such, I’d say, job well done.
    And with that, I’d like to thank Butterfield and Nick for their efforts in setting this up, and to everyone that contributed.
    As for my donation, I’d like my dollars to be sent to the Stephen Darby charity. He is a memory of where we were a few short years ago and it is cruel how this illness has/will affect his life.

    Regards

    I agree.

    The hierarchy were more than happy to share their information through @City-since-67@City-since-67 with regards the potential new investment maybe we should share our information with them.
    Either they give us a predicted date of when Edin will be out of our club once and for all or we tell them we are not prepared to just sit back and await it happening and we will resurrect the fly bye ?.

    Same for me Jon. But perhaps we could spend some of it on a one way plane ticket to Stuttgart in the name of Herr E. Rahic ;) it would have to be Ryanair as he likes to do things on the cheap...
