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 MNDWilsdenBantam, Bronco, Sandbeds Bantam and 7 others like this. -

It's a waiting game IMO.
If he goes I'd like my donation to go to the Burns Unit.

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:
- Sit on the money a bit longer; hopefully, it won't be long before we see the fly by is no longer required;
- Propose a 50/50 split donation to the Burns Unit / MND, subject to 3 below;
- 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.

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.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Utters0, Storck, JonButterfield and 3 others like this. -
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!!Utters0, CL89, broadsword and 3 others like this. -
@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.

I think we should hang fire a little longer , wait to see if he does indeed go . If he departs i want the entire fund transfering to the " BUY OFFSIDE A BRAND NEW MERC FUND " , if not to the burns unit .

The hierarchy were more than happy to share their information through @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 ?.Utters0, TallinnBantam, JonButterfield and 2 others like this. -
Happy to wait a while. Donate my contribution to BU and MND, please, and well-done @JonButterfield.
