    Yeah that's the thing, you can't have a 'supporters trust' owning part of a club and still expect the owner to keep pumping money in to keep the clubs going unless the supporter's trust put in an equivalent share everytime a cash injection is needed. Club's would probably find that while it solves things short term it pushes them closer to having to fold than other solutions.

    Maybe something like a supporters bond would be better for clubs, then everyone lending would get an interest payment every year and would be due their money back at the end of the bonds term (say anywhere from, 10-25 years) but the club would know it needs to be putting some cash aside for paying this back so could budget for that

    How come the owner of the club “loans” the club money, but fans are expected to give a gift. Any fund raising needs to be in the return of shares in the club. Sick of any progress made, being used to pay off owner ‘loans’ instead of reinvested in the club’s infrastructure.

    As far as I can see there isn't any expectation from the club, Julian talks about fans buying things not gifting money

    I very much doubt they will ask for a donation what they might do is ask people to buy a joint streaming and ordinary season ticket. I don’t see any supporter not doing that so long as they can afford it.

    What if someone already illegally streams the games? Like, for example, @Bronco@Bronco does?

    I know a few people that have access to games and general thoughts are that they would probably go legal if the price isn't silly

    I hope you can prove that.

    And I would still buy an Ifollow pass if that's the way the club went.

    I agree.

    Bid on tickets for dynamos new tour and a zayn Malik signed poster to “back the club”.

    Genius. You ever thought about a career in marketing?
    Don't forget a guided tour of Manningham in @Fordy117@Fordy117's merc culminating in a midget tossing contest on the centre circle.

    Sounds brilliant. A meal with James mason and his 59 agency celebrities will be a prize

    The club will lose loads of money in this. How many households have multiple tickets? Dad and kids or even mum, dad and kids in many cases. They'll only want 1 iFollow subscription.

    Streaming services piracy figures (not to mention the massive market for stolen logins) suggests no matter the price a large percentage wouldn’t pay anything. It’s one of the problems that the internet, its caused a certain amount of self entitlement where large amount of people think they deserve things for free

    Part of the problem with that is the amount of providers for one sport. Each one asks a premium for their slice. if your team is say, a champions league side, the costs spiral. No wonder fans look for other means of viewing when the costs of following your team go up every year.
